2 Corinthians 1 - Day 990 (link to reading)
Purpose. The message of Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians was to defend his authority as an apostle of Jesus Christ, and to remind them that it was he that founded the church in Corinth, and he had every right to instruct them in the ways of the Lord concerning conduct and gathering together as a church of Jesus Christ. When Paul finally arrived in Corinth he spent all winter there (Acts 20:2, 3). While he was in Corinth he wrote his epistle to the church in Rome. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:23-24 Application: Sometimes it's just better to let conflicts cool down before engaging again. As their spiritual parent, Paul takes his role seriously and wants the best for the Corinthians believers. However, he understands that "rebellious teenagers" can't be reasoned with so he took some time to regain his composure before correcting them. Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your patience...
