Christ’s presence and power are often most visible during your hardest times, shining through the cracks of your life.
Second Corinthians is one of two known letters from the apostle Paul to the church in Corinth, Greece. During his time in Corinth, Paul encountered much hostility to the gospel. When Paul left Corinth, the small congregation he planted faced immense pressure to forsake their newfound faith. The cracks were clear to all, but Christ’s light was shining through the cracks.
Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians is pastoral and personal. Paul writes of his own struggles and suffering. At the same time, he testifies to his abiding love for Christ and the church.
This 15 day series encourages you to see Christ’s work, shining in your life in your hardest times, shining through the cracks.
