"Now Is The Day"
While Paul experienced suffering and persecution in greater measure than the average person, he experienced the blessing and benefits of the Holy Spirit in greater measure as well. With passion, he pleads with his friends not to receive the God's grace in vain, but rather to let it have full effect in their lives.
THE WAY //
2 Corinthians is arguably the most heartfelt, emotional letter we have from the Apostle Paul. As he writes to his friends in Corinth and addresses some of the challenges they're facing, he encourages them to embrace the life that Jesus modeled. Christians, originally known as "followers of the Way", are empowered by the Holy Spirit to take on a new way of living, one that draws strength from weakness, humility, and generosity.
