2 Corinthians 9:14; Exceeding Grace of God In You

2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

The kindness of the church in Corinth through their gift will be remembered in the prayers of the saints in Jerusalem. There is a kindred spirit of co-labouring in the gospel work and mutual care that flourishes as a result of the much-needed supply sent forth. In the prayer list of the church in Jerusalem will be the praise item and prayer for God’s strengthening upon the saints in Corinth.

The church in Corinth will be remembered for God’s exceeding grace, God’s surpassing enabling that binds them together in gospel ties sealing and confirming in the hearts of the saint in Jerusalem the gospel’s power in the lives of converts to serve sacrificially. What a blessed testimony!

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship our spirit finds
Is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne,
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one—
Our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes;
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

To God be the Glory! Amen.
