Paul‘s mission team
I thank God, who put into the heart of
Titus the same concern I have for you.
For Titus not only welcomed our appeal,
but he is coming to you with much
enthusiasm and on his own initiative.
And we are sending along with him
the brother who is praised by all the
churches for his service to the gospel.
What is more, he was chosen by the
churches to accompany us as we carry
the offering, which we administer
in order to honor the Lord himself and
to show our eagerness to help.
2 Corinthians 8:16-19
It is a process of expansion of Gospel.
Paul's mission team of dedicated
young God's workers voluntarily delivered
Paul's letter to the Corinthian Church.
The letter contained to resolve
the misunderstandings and to complete
the promised giving for the poverty
riden believers in Jerusalem.
Titus who was a team leader for this
journey as a growing spiritual leader
and other brothers with him in
the Lord were gentiles not long ago.
They are the fruit of the greatest
missionary Paul's nurturing risking his life.
Gospel is not chained then and now.
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 !
