2 Corinthians 8:6; Finish In You the Same Grace

2 Corinthians 8:6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

The Apostle Paul sent Titus to jolt the church in Corinth to emulate the exemplary giving of the churches in Macedonia. He has cited their sincere care for the brethren in Jerusalem and sought for the church in Corinth to do likewise. He wanted spiritual fruit to be accrued to their account. He nudged them along the path of devotion to love and good works.

As Amy Carmichael said, “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”

Proverbs 22:9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

The blessing was theirs to receive. Amen.
