​

Besides everything else,

I face daily the pressure of

my concern for all the churches.

Who is weak, and I do not feel weak?

Who is led into sin, and I do not

inwardly burn? Corinthians 11:28,29

It may be over 35 times that

apostle Paul had very traumatic

life events during his 27 years of

epic ministry.

The traumas that even once

could make one life long

mental disability.

But the pain more then these

trauma for him was that those

who invited Jesus into their hearts

as Savior but not growing or

caught again by demons.

The pain that Apostle Paul had

for them was following to the pang

that Jesus had on the cross for us.

In order to transfer Jesus' eternal,

life, his life was "I die everyday."

The 2 Corinthians is the Apostle Paul's second letter to the 

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
