A Threefold Theme
2 Corinthians 1:23-24
Moreover I call God for a record on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth.…


I. THE FULFILMENT OF A PROMISE ADJOURNED (ver. 24).

II. AUTHORITY OVER THE FAITH OF OTHERS DISCLAIMED. "Not for that we have dominion over your faith."

III. THE TRUE WORK OF A GOSPEL MINISTER. He is a helper, not a lord; a helper, not a substitute. A true minister is to help men —

1. To think aright — i.e., on the right subject, in the right way.

2. To feel aright — in relation to self, mankind, the universe, and God.

3. To believe aright.

(D. Thomas, D. D.)
