                           The Enmity

​

​

And I will put enmity between

you and the woman, and

between your offspring and hers;

he will crush your head, and

you will strike his heel.

Genesis 3:15

​

It's Autumn.

All plants returns to their home

the soil finishing producing

all crops and fruit gracefully silently.

When people return to their

final homes there are at times

differences from those of plants.

Among those left there happens

resentments and disturbances.

They include it's because of you

and that and fortune so on.

When "because of" was

retrospectively searched it was

ended at the devil, the enemy of

God, the owner of death.

This enemy, crushed its head

Jesus God has become a human

died on the cross and resurrected.

In the presence of this sacrifice of

Jesus, it would be the best time

to be forgiven "because of me",

understand and forgive each other

and ending the greed.

It would be a time of God's grace

to face straight the life and death.

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 !
