June 23
Introduction
The apostle Paul speaks of his plans to visit the Corinthians for a third time. His second visit had been a painful one (2 Corinthians 2:1). He mentions that his ability to perform miracles proves that he is a true apostle in comparison to the special “apostles” who had been deceiving the people. Paul reminds the Corinthians once again that he did not ask the Corinthians for monetary support. The reading concludes with Paul expressing some fears about what he will encounter when he visits the church in Corinth.
Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 12:11-21
Today’s Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 12:19b
[Paul writes:] We speak as Christ would have us speak in the presence of God, and everything we do, dear friends, is done to help you.
Reflect
How does Paul express his concern for the Corinthians (verses 14-19)? What does Paul fear when he comes to visit again (verses 20 and 21)? What preparations does your community of faith make when they anticipate the arrival of a special guest?
Pray
Gracious God, you are always near, ready to help me and drive out my fears in times of distress. I trust in your promises, knowing you will surround me with your steadfast love and care. Amen.
