Genuine Ministry
November 17, 2024
This week we pick back up where we left off in 2 Corinthians 12 as we see the apostle Paul continue to share his concerns for the church in Corinth. In our passage Paul shares that he will soon visit Corinth and he is concerned that some of the Corinthians still do not recognize his apostolic ministry of the Gospel. Paul expresses that he has great love for the Corinthians, one similar to a parent who is willing to sacrifice for their children’s own good. But Paul fears that some of the Corinthians might not be prepared for his visit, living in ways contrary to the gospel. It is clear that Paul longs for the Corinthians to repent of their sins and see him as a true apostle and loving parent who is willing and glad to be spent for the good of their souls.
