Strength In Weakness
2 Corinthians 11:16-33 | Derek Brandt
In 2 Corinthians 11:16-33, Paul defends his apostolic authority, compares himself to false teachers, recounts his hardships, and emphasizes his dedication to the gospel despite numerous challenges and sufferings. The concept of "kintsugi," the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, serves as a metaphor for how Paul's faith and ministry are strengthened through his trials, much like the broken pottery becomes more beautiful and valuable after being mended with gold.
