The apostle (teacher spreading the gospel after Jesus’ death
and resurrection) Paul wrote the epistle (letter) 2 Corinthians about 56
A.D. This letter was written to explain the
struggle Paul was having with the church of Corinth that he founded around 50
A.D. The church had rejected him and his
teachings. It seems while he was a great
writer, he was not a very charismatic speaker.
2 Corinthians 1
False teachers at the church of Corinth were challenging
Paul’s teachings and questioning his character. Paul writes about his suffering
and felt as though he would die but God saved him. This was a reminder to Paul to rely on God
for all things no matter the circumstance.
2 Corinthians 2
Paul discusses the importance of the church forgiving and
standing by church members committing and expressing remorse for sin.
2 Corinthians 3
In this chapter, Paul’s teachings are questioned by false
teachers producing documents to try to establish that they were the true
teachers. Paul stated the believers he
had taught were the only proof he needed.
By the end of this chapter he reminds us our belief in the Lord is our
freedom!
