Biblical Restraint, Weakness, And Self-Examination

As the Apostle Paul begins to bring his second letter to the Corinthians to a close, he gives one final plea. He hopes to visit in peace, but by all appearances it looks like he may have to come in judgement. Though he’s admittedly weak, he’s strong in the power and authority in Christ. If the Corinthians will but humble themselves and do a real and necessary examination of their lives, Paul’s hopeful they’ll come to their senses and find a true and lasting relationship with Christ.
