2 Cor. 6-8

In chapter 8 Paul discusses the principle of giving that those who have more than enough share with those who have much less. At Christmas time it’s healthy to see this. Christ Who was rich became poor that we could become rich.

Seasons of life change. When we are full, others may be empty. When they are full, we may be empty and in need.

Paul commended the Corinthian church for its excellence in so many areas. He also drew attention to the act of giving and challenged us all to excel in it.

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? [1 John 3:17]
