2 Corinthians
"I shall not be ashamed-"
Text: 2 Corinthians 10:8
THE AUTHORITY OF THE LORD
The Lord Jesus Christ did not just ordain some of His disciples to become apostles. He also empowered them with authority in their capacity as apostles. Paul was one of the apostles God had given authority and power for ministry!
“For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority,
which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction,
I shall not be ashamed-
lest I seem to terrify you by letters.
‘For his letters,’ they say, ‘are weighty and powerful,
but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible.'”
2 Corinthians 10:8-10
