This is the third time that I’m coming to visit you. Every matter is settled on the evidence of two or three witnesses. When I was with you on my second visit, I already warned those who continued to sin. Now I’m repeating that warning to all the rest of you while I’m at a safe distance: if I come again, I won’t spare anyone. Since you are demanding proof that Christ speaks through me, Christ isn’t weak in dealing with you but shows his power among you. Certainly he was crucified because of weakness, but he lives by the power of God. Certainly we also are weak in him, but we will live together with him, because of God’s power that is directed toward you. (2 Corinthians 13:1-4, CEB)
Paul sounds like an upset parent here. I’ve told you 2 times to stop that, and if I have to tell you again, I will stop this car and no one will be happy and I will give you something to cry about.
The Corinthians didn’t get the message Paul was sending it seems. They kept doing what they shouldn’t be doing. But aren’t all of us that way really? We get set in our ways and we want to do things our way, even when God has a better way.
Listen to God and follow where God is leading you.
Loving People. Loving God.
