2 Corinthians 8: For your sakes he became poor

Read 2 Corinthians 8:1-24 before you meet.

In a few lines

In the Greek, the "deep poverty" of the assemblies of Macedonia (8:2) and the "poverty" of the Lord Jesus Christ (8:9) are one noun, and the New Testament has it only once more.

The verse to carry

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.”

2 Corinthians 8:9

To talk about

  1. 1. "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich." (8:9). What stays with you most as you read this verse?

  2. 2. "in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy" (8:2). Have you seen someone keep their joy in a hard time? What did you notice?

  3. 3. "As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you." (8:23). Who has been a partner to you in your faith, and how could you thank them this week?
