Selwyn ends his meditations on the theme of Paul’s magnificent obsession by reflecting further on the text we looked at yesterday: ‘ … we are weak in Christ, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you’ (2 Corinthians 13:4).
I thought this part of Selwyn’s conclusion was especially good: “There is nothing as ‘terrible’ as a person who is wholly surrendered to God and who will surrender to nothing else. When that person is called upon to confront sin or deal with injustice. he or she will be caught up in that same stream of power that brought Jesus out from that garden grave.”
It’s a challenging statment don’t you agree – because, many today – would rather not confront sin; because they think confrontation is not ‘loving’?
What’s your view, fellow Corinthians?
