May 17

Introduction

In today’s reading, Paul addresses a particular situation in which one person had been attacking Paul and his teaching. The followers in Corinth had publicly pointed out the wrong things this person had said. Paul encourages the Corinthians to forgive this person.

Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14b

God uses us to make the knowledge about Christ spread everywhere like a sweet fragrance.

Today’s Reading 

2 Corinthians 2:5-17

Reflect

Have you ever experienced a situation in which one person disagreed with other members of a group? If so, how did the group respond? How did you feel in that situation? Reread verses 14-16. In what ways can you be “like a sweet-smelling incense” to others?

Pray

Forgiving God, it can be so difficult to tolerate and forgive those with whom I have differences. Forgive me for the times when I have failed to forgive others. Teach me to be like a sweet fragrance, spreading the knowledge about Christ everywhere. Make me mindful of Paul’s witness today. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Churches experiencing division

Tomorrow’s Reading

2 Corinthians 3:1-18: The Spirit of the Lord gives life.
