2 Corinthians 5:1-10
from Alive in Christ Hosted by Fr. Gabriel McHugh
In this first Bible study of the new year, Fr. Gabriel sets the stage for 2 Corinthians: a cosmopolitan, divided church in Corinth, and a Paul who opens his heart about his own struggles and the comfort of God's presence. He returns to a favorite verse, "we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead," and then reads 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. He explores Paul's image of our earthly life as a tent, the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of the life to come, why feeling too much at home in this world can mean we are absent from the Lord, what Paul means by a spiritual body, and why we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
