In this last section of Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth, he’s addressing a problem of great concern to him personally. Paul planted that church and many of the churches in the areas of Asia minor, Greece, Achaia, and Macedonia, but some Jews were going around to the churches teaching the people that if they wanted a right relationship to God, they needed to follow all the Jewish laws, become circumcised, and take on every other aspect of Judaism.
Apparently, they came in bold and brash, arrogantly bragging about their credentials as Jews, but at the same time throwing Paul under the bus by saying that Paul was of the flesh because his gospel of grace only encouraged people into fleshly living. They couldn’t have been more wrong and Paul is incensed that they would come into the churches he planted and disrupt their spiritual growth by trying to drag them back into legalism.
Not only that, they were taking advantage of the churches by taking up offerings for themselves. That was too much; Paul takes them on with some very strong words. This is actually a problem in many parts of the world today. The modern pastors in Nigeria and many countries in Africa, including the DRC are making big business out of using the same approach; flamboyant and braggadocious, they take advantage of the church taking millions for themselves.
This is a spiritual battle, Paul wrote, but the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, they are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God.
He also wrote, “But he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord. For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.” And then later in chapter 11, “Such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.”
Then, in an interesting turn, Paul does some boasting himself. But what does he boast about? He boasts about his weaknesses, the distresses, the persecutions, and the difficulties he suffered for the sake of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:22-30
But this is where we see Paul’s faith and gain a great insight into what it means to see God’s strength, God’s power, and God’s provision in our lives.
