—2 Corinthians 12:1-7a
by: Aubrey Appel.
Paul is relating a spiritual experience he had in which he had visions and great revelations. But Paul is concerned here with his humility and rightly so. Paul had probably figured out by this point in time how necessary humility is in a servant’s daily life. Paul knows that only by submitting himself to God and by grace has his spiritual relationship with the Lord deepened and grown. Therefore, he will not boast, putting in jeopardy his humility and the grace he has received. Are you concerned with your humility? It’s not generally a question that the world asks, but a question necessary to Christians.
