  • 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 NKJV
    3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
    2 Corinthians 1:8–10 NKJV
    8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,
    2 Corinthians 1:9–10 NLT
    9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. 10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.

    God’s Glory Reveal

    Exodus 33:18–19 NKJV
    18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
    God’s Glory was expressed
    ++By his Goodness
    ++By His Name
    ++By His Grace
    ++By His Compassion
    Psalm 19:1 NKJV
    1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
    Isaiah 43:7 NKJV
    7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
    His Glory
    ++Is declared by the heavens
    ++Is revealed in everyone called by Him

    The Prophet declared a Greater Glory

    Haggai 2:3 NKJV
    3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing?
    Haggai remembered the temple
    ++Built by divine design
    ++Made with the best of materials
    ++Constructed on a gold standard
    2 Chronicles 5:11 NKJV
    11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),
    2 Chronicles 5:13–14 NKJV
    13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
    Everyone was ready
    ++The Priest were sanctified
    ++The Musicians were unified
    ++The glory filled the house
    ++This was a fading glory

    You haven’t seen anything yet

    Haggai 2:9 NKJV
    9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
    There is a coming glory
    ++That will be greater
    ++That will never fade

    God’s Glory is revealed in us

    2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJV
    3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

    God is worthy to be praised

    He is the
    ++Father of our Lord Jesus
    ++Father of mercies
    ++God of all comfort

    God is always there

    2 Corinthians 1:4 NKJV
    4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
    In all our Tribulation
    ++God comforts us
    ++God helps us to comfort others
    ++God helps us to pass it on

    Challenges of Life

    Where is the Lord
    ++When we life happen?
    ++When we experience trouble, hurt or pain?
    ++When the world seems to be against you?
    ++When you are faced with human weakness?

    Called to be aware

    2 Corinthians 1:8 NKJV
    8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

    Paul’s trouble was significant

    They were
    ++Burdened beyond measure
    ++Pushed beyond strength
    ++In deep despair
    ++Preferring death over life
    Paul understood that in this Life
    ++There are challenges
    ++There are issues beyond our control
    ++There is suffering

    Followers of Christ are immune to life’s challenges

    2 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV
    9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves
    They were fully aware
    ++Of their mortality
    ++Of their weakness
    Facing times of suffering
    ++Happens to everyone
    ++Is source of pain for everyone
    2 Corinthians 1:9 NLT
    9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
    In their weakness
    ++They stopped relying on themselves
    ++They learned to rely on God
    ++They found real strength

    God’s Greatest Glory is not found in our ability

    2 Corinthians 1:10 NKJV
    10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

    God’s Greatest Glory is in a realized truth

    It is God
    ++Who delivered us
    ++Who is delivering us
    ++Who will deliver us

    God’s Greatest Glory is His power in our weakness

    2 Corinthians 6:4–5 NKJV
    4 But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

    We are servants of God In all things

    Romans 8:18 NKJV
    18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
    We still serve in the challenges of life
    ++In much patience
    ++In tribulations, and suffering
    ++In stripes, needs and distresses
    ++In imprisonments
    2 Corinthians 6:6–8 NKJV
    6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, 7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report…
    We still serve by what God provides.
    ++By purity, knowledge , longsuffering, and kindness
    ++By the Holy Spirit, the word of truth
    ++By the Power of God, and the armor of righteousness
    ++Not by the testimony of others
    2 Corinthians 6:8–10 NKJV
    8 …as deceivers, and yet true; 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
    We are servants of God as weak but being made strong
    ++Called deceivers yet true
    ++Unknown, yet well known
    ++Dying yet live
    ++In sorrow yet always rejoicing
    2 Corinthians 1:7 NKJV
    7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
    Colossians 1:27 NKJV
    27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
