2 Corinthians 11:21-33
Paul's Boast levaes the false teachers/apostles in the dust! There is no comparison!
R. Kent Hughes, in his PREACHING THE WORD COMMENTARY on SECOND CORINTHIANS writes:
"Today we too find it easier to interpret the gospel in terms of our received culture rather than interpreting the culture by the gospel. We need to be wary of our Christianity becoming a Christianized version of our own culture . . . We must not write our resumés after the example of Caesar but after that of Paul. As Christians we must avoid boasting about our education and training and successes and bank accounts and vacation homes and honors as if it is these things that give us our value. As Christians we must acknowledge and embrace our weaknesses, because as we give them to Christ, they become occasions for his strength and glory. Can we embrace our weaknesses? Will we embrace our weaknesses? The answer to that question has everything to do with the authenticity of the gospel and the church and its mission."
