                  Our earthly tent

​

​

​

Now we know that if the earthly

tent we live in is destroyed,

we have a building from God,

an eternal house in heaven,

not built by human hands.

2 Corinthians 5:1

One is most fearful

when his body suddenly gets

an incurable disease or death.

But Apostle Paul says my body

where my spirit indwells

is earthly tent.

When this body is destroyed

God gives the building God built

for my spirit to dwell forever.

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 !
