We are beginning a new series through the book of 2 Corinthians. In this book we are introduced to a different kind of strength, a strength that comes through weakness. We generally measure strength by outward markers: power, beauty, appearance, capacity and position. But Paul introduces us to a strange path to comfort, though afflictions. This is counterintuitive to how our world looks at life and happiness. For followers of Jesus, we live paradoxically, where unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it will not bear fruit. This is true in Jesus’ ministry, and our lives as well.
