2 Corinthians 2

Good Morning “Forgiven and Forgivers.”  Check out 2 Corinthians 2.

Within any church are grievances  and hurts.  We are sinful people who come together with others - often in buildings called churches.  Sinful people hurt each other period.  

When we take our eyes off of Jesus and cease, even for a moment, to see each other through His eyes our selfishness takes over.  We quit putting others before ourselves.  Satan is a master at dividing.  Divide and conquer is his war strategy!  Paul understands the grievances within the Corinthian church are dividing them.  Check out what he says here.  

“Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Did you catch that?  Here it is again… “in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.”

Never let your guard down.  
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are in a war, and our enemy loves to stir the pot!  Be alert!  Keep your eyes on Jesus!  See the world through His eyes!  Ask and give forgiveness where needed!  Always keep the big picture in mind!  Most things are just not that big of a deal in light of the big picture.  

Love you all!  Dig in!  Love Em Like Jesus.
