Scripture: II Corinthians 1:1-2:17
Series over Sanctification through the Study of I & II Corinthians
Paul spent two chapters defending his character, emphasizing that he was not fickle in changing his travel plans. He planned to visit Corinth twice. One visit turned “short and painful,” and the other was delayed. The changes were due to necessity; the “super apostles” humiliated Paul in his short visit, and Ephesus need more work. God works everything out for His faithful. Paul’s “severe letter” led to repentance of the Corinthians, even the sinning brother they excommunicated. Paul forgives and encourages forgiveness, as they restored the collection project for Jerusalem. Ministers of God should be honest, sincere, trustworthy and faithful, both in being and in name.
