A Lesson on Forgiveness (2 Corinthians 2:5-11)
Bob Schultz, October 25, 2020Part of the II Corinthians series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today we will look at a great example of what it means to forgive and restore sinners in the body of Christ so that we would grasp the schemes of satan.
2 Corinthians 2:5–11 (Listen)
5 Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. 6 For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, 7 so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. 9 For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. 10 Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, 11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
