Apostles’ concerns have been comforted
Verses：2_Corinthians 7:1 ~ 7:16
Key Verse：6-7. But He who comforts those who are downcast, that is, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus; And not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted because of you, declaring to us your longing, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
Topic：Apostles’ concerns have been comforted
Emphasis：In the 1 Corinthians, Paul blamed the church in Corinth for their ten problems, admonish them severely, but within, his heart was filled with loving concerns. Here in 2 Corinthians, he told them with joy how much his loving concerns had been comforted by their repentance.
Meditate：The church is the house of God, just like a healthy family, full of loving concerns, among which are wishing that the members will do better. Have you ever experienced this kind of loving concern from brothers and sisters in the Church? Or have you ever been concerned about others’ spiritual growth?
Prayer：For You are the God “Who comforts those who are downcast”, I praise you. Please make me treasure more the intimate care and the concerns in the church, Your home.
Hymn：Remove My Covering, Lord
