Is It a Humblebrag?
Manage episode 437816286 series 3451563
In response to challenges to his leadership, Paul feels compelled to reestablish the church in Corinth’s trust in him. Because his opponents were going about boasting about their spiritual experiences and visions, Paul is also forced to verify his credentials by “boasting” about his own visions and revelations. However, he is able to outdo his opponents by pointing out that this is actually boasting as well as how foolish it is. Paul then turns the conversation around to explain that rather than boasting about his unique ministry, he would rather boast about his weakness. He shares that even though he has been given a thorn in his side (a hindrance to his ministry), God’s grace is sufficient and is what carries him (and those he is leading) through.
