My brother Titus
Now when I went to Troas to
preach the gospel of Christ and
found that the Lord had opened
a door for me,
I still had no peace of mind,
because I did not find my brother
Titus there.
So I said good-by to them and went
on to Macedonia. 2 Corinthians 2:12,13
The Bible is a book with
a definite purpose to give
an eternal and abundant life
to people as a fact collection.
Therefore it includes all
the principles of the most big
and small details of life matter.
To increase educational effect
it fills with true case studies.
To spread this good new
the Paul missionary team traveled
the world and had much hardships.
Then transportation and physical
conditions were hard but
the most danger was Satanic
attacks and scheme to kill them.
Troas now in Turkey
Apostle Paul finally arrived to
where doors were wide open
by Jesus to share Gospel.
However Paul's mission team
member Titus was not there.
See what the greatest missionary
in mankind Paul did there ?!
He did not preach Gospel there
but crossed the wide Ege ocean
and came to Macedonia.
He looked searching for Titus.
What an irresponsibility,
ineffectiveness and lack of
perseverance . . . ?!
It seems fair to condemn him.
Although we do not know
Titus was sick, needed something
or simply Paul longed to see him
so much . . .
However Apostle Paul choose
personal love and needs by
the Holy Spirit.
The Bible is truly the book
written by the Holy Spirit about
infinite personal love and freedom.
It is not a lifeless another
religious book.
Praise the Lord Trinity of
Love forever!
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 !
