Weakness by power

​

​

​

For to be sure,

he was crucified in weakness,

yet he lives by God's power.

Likewise, we are weak in him,

yet by God's power we will live

with him to serve you.

2 Corinthians 13:4

​

​

​

​

Jesus was weakest person.

So weak that he had to be crucified

in spite of his innocent.

Sin makes person weak.

Jesus had become such a weak because

he received all sins of all persons.

But he rose by God's power from death.

God's workers we are weak

in Jesus but in order to serve you

we will live by God's power.

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 !
