2 Corinthians: Session 1 (April 6)

Session 1: Sufferings: Can sufferings have their purpose and benefits for others?

2 Corinthians 1

Rev Dr Lim Kar Yong

1. What does it mean to “share . . . in Christ’s sufferings” (2 Cor 1:5)? Does it mean Christ’s sufferings were not enough for our redemption, so we need to help with our own suffering?
2. Reflect on the implications of 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 for your own life today. In what ways can your sufferings be the source of encouragement or comfort to others?
3. Consider what you have learned in tonight’s lesson that might lead you to praise God and trust in his gracious promises.
