2 Corinthians 1 · Grade 4

Comforted to Comfort

Name Date

Read and Think

Second Corinthians is one of Paul's most personal letters. He opens with praise to the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. God comforts believers in every trouble, so that they can comfort others with the same comfort they have received.

Paul is honest about suffering. In Asia he faced pressure so heavy that he despaired even of life. Looking back, he saw a purpose. It taught him not to trust in himself but in God, who raises the dead. He asks the Corinthians to help by praying for him.

Some in Corinth criticized Paul for changing his travel plans. Paul answers that his word was not Yes and No at the same time. However many God's promises are, in Christ they are Yes. God has anointed believers, sealed them, and given the Holy Spirit as a down payment.
