                   To raise and stand

​

​

​

because we know that the one who

raised the Lord Jesus from

the dead will also raise us with

Jesus and present us with you

in his presence.

2 Corinthians 4:14

The heart and promise of God

are to stand you who have received

the Gospel and we who shared it

to stand in the presence of

God after raising us from the death

as God did for

Jesus who died for our sin.

It is the presence of

the glorious God's throne.

We know this.

therefore we believe.

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
