One of the most powerful passages in all of Scripture: "...To keep me from being proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."--2Cor12:7-10

Entire books have been written in church history, just on this one short passage.

It's fascinating to consider both the unity and diversity of Scripture--unity, in that it all has one divine author and tells one grand story about God and his people; yet diverse, in that individual books were written by different people, living in different contexts and addressing different topics. Even 1st and 2nd Corinthians differ from one another in content and purpose, with the former being largely instructional, and the latter being deeply personal.

"If there is no resurrection from the dead, then Christ hasn't been raised. And if he hasn't been raised, then your faith is useless, and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. But in fact, Christ *has* been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died."--1Co15:16-20

"Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death."--Paschal Troparion

Even a little arsenic can ruin an entire glass of water; even a little yeast can leaven an entire loaf (1Co5:6-8); so too can persistent sin destroy a person, a family, and even an entire congregation.

"If you can't shoot the message, shoot the messenger."

One of the main purposes of the letter of 2nd Corinthians was to defend Paul's apostolic authority. He had already written to the church at Corinth before, rebuking false teachings and clarifying doctrinal disputes. The false teachers and glory-seekers ("super-apostles", as Paul sarcastically calls them in 2Co11:5) didn't like this, of course, but Paul's argumentation was unassailable, so they did the only other thing they could do: try to impugn Paul's honor, so as to cut his authority out from under him.

We marvel at how God chose to operate in history, giving us infallible Scriptures that are both divine and human in their origin--divine because the one true God is the ultimate author of them all, and human because of the very real people whom God prepared and used to pen them. The Apostle Paul, for all of his admirable qualities and his importance to the formation of the people of God, was still a human being, who fell short in so many of the same ways that we all do. May we take comfort in the fact that God delights to do his work, even through imperfect vessels like us.

"Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God."--2Pe1:20-21

"When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--the moon and the stars you set in place--what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels, and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority--the flocks and herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims in the ocean currents. O Yahweh our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"--Ps8:3-9

"Your boasting about this [freedom to sin] is terrible. Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread of sincerity and truth."--1Co5:6-8

"All of humanity is divided between the saints and the ain'ts."--J. Vernon McGee

Corinth was one of the most unlikely places to find a faithful church in the first century. What do you think are some of the Corinths of our day--that is, where do you think *it would seem* unlikely that the people of God could grow and flourish in the world today?
