So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].
2 CORINTHIANS 12:10 AMP
Thanks be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Apostle Paul recounted that he was ready for any form of humiliation once it projects the name of the Lord. Earlier verses from this same chapter emphasizes this fact, that in all these the name of the Lord be magnified. God’s grace was available for Apostle Paul.
The Apostle says he is ready to accept insults, persecutions with difficulties and distresses for the sake of Jesus Christ being magnified unto the world.
What sacrifice are we ready to make for the Lord? We have been saved to also bring salvation to others. What kind of suffering or humiliation are we ready to accept for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be preached at all costs to others.
Can we say boldly with Apostle Paul that Jesus Christ empowers us in our weakness so we can do His work with boldness. He has given us sufficient grace to do His work (2Corinthians 12:9)
May Jehovah strengthen and embolden us to preach His gospel to all. Jesus is the answer to the world, believe in Him and be saved.
