2 Corinthians 4:13-15
from Alive in Christ Hosted by Fr. Gabriel McHugh
In this lecture on 2 Corinthians 4:13-15, Fr. Gabriel continues unpacking Paul's teaching on the apostolic life, emphasizing that knowledge of God in the Christian tradition is not intellectual but deeply relational — like the intimate "knowing" described in Genesis — and that our relationship with God matures through stages, from fear to desire to love. He revisits the theme of treasure in earthen vessels and Paul's paradox of dying daily so that life may work in others, and leads a rich discussion on Psalm 115 ("I believed, therefore I spoke"), exploring why we praise and worship God — not because God needs it, but because we need it, because the actions of love cultivate the feeling of love, and because invoking Christ's presence draws Him near to us, as beautifully expressed in the Breastplate of Saint Patrick.
