2 CORINTHIANS 12
PAUL’S HUMILITY + STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS
Sharing a vision, most likely of himself, Paul shares his revelations of God. Although Paul has obtained great wisdom and spiritual maturity, he remains humble and boasts only in God’s goodness. Paul says that a “thorn in his side” keeps him from becoming conceited. Although it is not specifically mentioned, there are many theories as to what afflicted Paul as the thorn in his side. Some believe that it was a physical ailment, mental affliction, or recurring challenge that affected Paul throughout his ministry.
Paul states his power is made perfect through weakness and that God’s power rests upon him. Because Christ makes the weak strong, Paul is content in his weakness and hardships.
Paul reminds the people of Corinth that he provided signs and wonders and mighty works. He is not inferior to the false apostles and shares his confidence with the Church in Corinth.
Loving the Corinthians as if they are his own children, Paul is willing to serve them at his own expense. Paul is concerned that he will not find the Corinthians living in righteousness whenever he visits next. He encourages them to repent of their sins and avoid the sexual immoral acts they previously practiced.
