Day 333 of the podcast, reading 2 Corinthians 1-4 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/2+Corinthians+1-4/ This is day 333 of our journey. Paul opens this second letter with a message of encouragement in the face of persecution. God's comfort is always present regardless of the circumstances that we are facing. He follows this with a defense of his ministry as an apostle, bringing life and comfort to the perishing through the love of Christ. He gives Glory to God by reminding his reader that, in reality, it is not his work that matters but rather the work of the Spirit. Paul continues by, once again, reminding them that in the midst of persecution and life's many hardships, God will grant them victory! Join me in 2 Corinthians 1-4 and claim the victory that is only in Christ! Key verses: 2 Corinthians 1:5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow toward us, so also our comfort through Christ overflows to you. 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and who makes known through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed, All Scriptures are from the NET.
