Scripture: 2nd Corinthians 13:11-13
Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
Thought for the Day: For over seven weeks, we have been looking at Paul’s two letters to the church at Corinth. I don’t know if I have offered any great insight, but if anything, I hope you have read a great deal of these two letters – either reading them for the first time or being reintroduced to some wonderful and challenging ideas. With that, I echo the closing remarks Paul made to people he loved so deeply. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you – today and each day to come.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord God, for calling forth one like Paul. His story speaks to the power of your grace and resilience. Your love redeemed one of the great haters of the church, transforming his life. May your redemptive power continue to work in my life and in the life of our church. Amen.
SEE YOU IN WORSHIP
AND DON’T FORGET…
