Months after writing his first letter to the Corinthians, Titus brought Paul encouraging news regarding the Corinthians. Filled with gratitude and relief, Paul wrote the church again, this time a tender and personal letter from the heart. Writing from Macedonia, Paul begins by discussing the joys, concerns, hopes, and assurances he has for the believers in Corinth, expressing thankfulness for their repentance and spiritual progress, and sharing at length about his own life and ministry. Paul then exhorts the Corinthians to give generously to meet the needs of Christians in Jerusalem. In his closing section, Paul defends his apostleship, warns against false teachers, and urges unity.
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians
Bible Truth: Paul used his own life and ministry as examples of how Christ comforts his people in suffering and how Christ shows his grace and strength when they are weak.
Memory Work: If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3
