Today’s Reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 11:1-4
1 Would to God, ye could suffer a little my foolishness, and indeed, ye suffer me.
2 For I am jealous over you, with godly jealousy: for I have prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ:
3 But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupt from the simplicity that is in Christ:
4 For if he that cometh, preacheth another Jesus whom we have not preached: or if ye receive another spirit whom ye have not received: either another Gospel which ye have not received, ye might well have suffered him. (a)
(a) Editor’s thought - Re: vs 4 - Herein is a similar problem that is faced today. We in these times are hearing a Gospel that is contrary to the simple Gospel of Christ. We hear of “prosperity” Gospels, of “feel good” Gospels, of “don’t worry everyone goes to heaven” Gospels. Let us not be swayed or deceived, for the beauty of the Gospel of Christ is it’s simplicity and purity. God loves us, He sent and sacrificed His son to redeem us unto Himself therefore repent and accept this grace and mercy of His sacrifice. His commands as spoken in Matthew 22:37-41 are likewise simple, to love God, and to love others. As He has spoken, on these hang all the law and the prophets.
