Paul begins the book of 2 Corinthians in a very practical call for God to be our comfort. Paul was no stranger to challenge. Yet, as distressing as his challenges were, he sought his comfort in the Lord, and he carefully calls us to do the same.

Jesus is confronted with accusations against His authority and His kingdom. His response not only stops the attack and lies, but also invites the listeners to respond from their hearts in allegiance to His superior Kingdom.

The cross represents the power of Jesus Christ and His work of salvation. This work transforms people, leaving a lasting effect upon them that is meant to be displayed before the world. Paul challenges us in this passage to let our walk be a living testimony of the glory of the cross.

In this passage, we find Jesus rejoicing over the work and message of the disciples. In it, we find Him blessing the disciples, but there is also a similar, more important blessing for us.

The Law of sowing and reaping is paramount to understanding the spiritual life. The difficulty lies in discerning the fruit of our heart. Be challenged and encouraged to address the hidden issue of our heart’s passion.
