Day 337 – Strength in Weakness: Christ’s Power Unveiled —2 Corinthians 11–13 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

In these final chapters, Paul defends his apostleship by doing something completely unexpected—boasting in his weakness. He recounts his sufferings, hardships, and even a mysterious “thorn in the flesh,” showing that true spiritual authority is marked by dependence on Christ, not outward success or strength. Paul warns the Corinthians against false apostles and calls them to examine their faith. The letter closes with a reminder that Christ’s power is made perfect in weakness and a final blessing rooted in the grace of the Triune God.Questions:1. Paul boasts in his weaknesses rather than his achievements. How does this redefine what faithfulness and spiritual maturity look like in the Christian life?2. The “thorn in the flesh” remains unnamed, yet central to Paul’s dependence on God. How does unanswered prayer shape humility and trust rather than bitterness?3. Paul urges believers to “examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.” What does healthy self-examination look like without falling into either pride or despair?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
