            Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ

​

​

​

For you know the grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ, that though

he was rich, yet for your sakes

he became poor,

so that you through his poverty

might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9

he has become a Man for men.

He has lived among us.

Nazarene carpenter,

no place to lay his head,

his last days dwelling was on

the Olive mountain,

for his poverty,

now Christian world is very rich.

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 !
