  4. Sacred Sunday~II Corinthians Chapter 2/A Sad Letter After a Painful Visit
 Welcome Listeners! We are reading...2 Corinthians: Chapter 2
Summary   The Painful Visit Okay, the real reason that
Paul cancelled his visit to Corinth is because he didn't want to
have another "painful visit." At least that's what happened the
last time he stopped in Corinth. Ouch.Apparently, there was some
kind of disagreement between Paul and a male member of the
Corinthian congregation. Paul doesn't go into details (we're
guessing the Corinthian gossip mill has already made this news
known). He also doesn't name his opponent, so we'll just call him
the Offending Brother.We don't know what happened, but we do know
that what was really upsetting about the whole incident was that
the Corinthians ended up siding with the Offending Brother instead
of Paul. How rude!Paul cancelled his travel plans and did what he
does best—he wrote a letter. This letter made him super sad though
and he cried a ton while writing it. The Tears Did It! But—good
news—the letter worked. Paul hears that the Corinthians have kicked
the Offending Brother out of the church.Okay, but now, Paul tells
them they should work on bringing him back into the church (wait,
what?). Oh, you know. Forgiveness and all that jazz.Paul heard all
this news first hand from his friend, Titus (who had been to visit
Corinth). Needless to say, this made Paul very, very happy.But
really, this is all God's handiwork. He has led Paul and his fellow
apostles on a victory march through the streets. God loves a
parade, apparently.Paul and his cohorts aren't like some apostles
who are really just "peddlers of God's word." They're sincere and
truthful. They come from God. Now that's a solid resume. Thanks to
