TODAY'S READING:

• Romans 15:1 - 16:27, 2 Corinthians 1:1 - 2:4

WORD OF THE DAY:

-  Gospel

Paul opens Romans 15 with a powerful reminder for those strong in faith to support and bear with those who are weaker. He urges believers to build each other up, prioritizing the needs of others over their own.

Romans 15:5–6 captures this beautifully: “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Paul also reminds the Romans of his mission to the Gentiles, proclaiming the Good News to open their eyes to the joy found in Christ. He exhorts believers to live for God’s glory, filled with hope, peace, and joy through the Holy Spirit.

In his closing chapter, Paul greets numerous individuals who supported him in spreading the Gospel. His personal connections with fellow believers, like Phoebe, Priscilla, and Aquila, highlight the importance of community and partnership in ministry.

Paul concludes with a warning: avoid false teachers and divisive individuals. Romans 16:19–20 encourages believers to remain wise and innocent, trusting in God’s ultimate victory: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”

Paul opens his second letter to the Corinthians with words of comfort and encouragement, drawing from his own experiences of suffering.

2 Corinthians 1:3–4 reminds us of God’s mercy: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

Paul explains his change of plans regarding visiting Corinth, expressing his deep love for the church and his desire to spare them further pain. His words reflect a heart of compassion, reconciliation, and the desire to see the Corinthians grow in faith and unity.

The Gospel is central to our faith. It proclaims salvation, peace, and hope to a broken world. Paul, quoting Isaiah, reminds us of the beauty of those who bring this good news (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).
