A BEAUTIFUL BENEDICTION <\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
With this beautiful benediction, Paul closed his second letter to the Corinthians. Paul’s trinitarian blessing bestowed three powerful attributes of the Godhead upon the believers at Corinth: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1) The “grace” (\u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03c2 – charis) of Jesus. Which is Christ’s free and unmerited favor. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2) The “love” (\u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7 – agape) of God. Which is God’s unconditional love and chief attribute. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3) The “fellowship” (\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b1 – koinonia) of the Spirit. Which is the abiding communion of the Spirit living in those of us who believe. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

May this beautiful blessing be yours today!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PRAYER: Dear Lord, when we consider Your grace and love towards us, we are overcome with wonder and joy. For You are all wonderful to us. That You have invited us into the eternal communion and fellowship of the Godhead is beyond our understanding. Help us to focus our hearts and minds on You today and upon the spiritual blessings You have given us. In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
