2 Corinthians 12:9: The Power Is Not Yours
Does 2 Corinthians 12:9 promise that God will make us stronger through suffering? What if our weakness never goes away? In Part Two, we examine Paul's words in their biblical and historical context, exploring what it means for Christ's power to be made perfect in weakness. Is the promise about our personal empowerment, or about Christ accomplishing His purposes through weak and suffering people? The power belongs to Christ—not to us.
