Rich Love

2 Corinthians 8:9

I’ve heard of a few rich people claiming they need to pay taxes, but I’ve never heard of someone who was willing to give up everything to be poor for thirty-three years. What kind of love would do that? If we are honest, we’ll admit it’s not the kind of love we have ever seen. It would be easier for man to say they would die for someone than give up his riches knowing full well he would eventually be rejected and killed.

Most of the time, men are willing to do something unselfish when they believe they will be rewarded. But Jesus loved us so much, he gave up everything so WE could be rewarded. That’s ultimate love!

Get Back Up!

Devotional cartoon based on a sermon of 2 Corinthians 4:6-18

This notes for this sermon were based on 2 Corinthians 4:6-18.

Let’s face it! We can do everything we believe is right and just, and still life is not going to go our way. This is an imperfect world. In fact, like the Apostle Paul, we may face opposition because we ARE doing the right thing. We may get knocked down, taunted and feel pressure from all sides.

Life isn’t going to be easy. We may feel that way when we center on ourselves, but God has a bigger picture. We can praise Him because his plan extends far beyond our sight. It will all come together in the end, but don’t expect smooth sailing in the meantime.

“We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18

Thank you to Jim Lyon of Madison Park Church of God for this sermon.
