                  Before the judgment

​

​

​

For we must all appear before

the judgment seat of Christ, that

each one may receive what is

due him for the things done while

in the body, whether good or bad.

Since, then, we know what it is

to fear the Lord,

we try to persuade men.

What we are is plain to God,

and I hope it is also plain to

your conscience. 2 Corinthians 5:10,11

Standing before God's judgement

with what we did in the body

good and evil is great relief and hope.

On earth there are too many injust.

Too many injust judgements also.

Now the honest and capable two

Korean presidents are imprisoned.

Those who judged them will

stand before God's judgement.

It is terribly fearful.

Apostle Paul spared his whole life

to spread this and help people

live good.

He lived plainly before God.

He urges us to live so.

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 !
