2 Corinthians

Paul was very ready to agree that he was nothing special in himself. But he knew that he had a higher role than Moses, the greatest man of Old Testament times. He had been called to the service of the new covenant.

Paul was more than ready to confess his own weaknesses. Yet his confidence remained intact. Why? Because he had experienced the power of the new covenant.

Christ himself gave Paul a letter of recommendation. What did he write? He wrote “CORINTH” and he wrote it on Paul’s heart.

Paul felt that the responsibility he carried was awesome. Yet he believed that by God’s grace he could bear it.

Wherever Paul travelled, the aroma of Christ was spread around. But was it an offensive stench or a delightful fragrance?
