Jesus said “My Grace is Sufficient”

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

This bible study is a most accurate description of the life of Paul a servant of Christ.

It has its moments of deep humiliation, such as the event at Damascus.

Then it has its mountain top experiences, such as Paul’s exhilarating revelation.

But normally after a servant of the Lord has enjoyed one of these experiences, the Lord allows him to suffer some thorn in the flesh.

That is what we have here. We learn many priceless lessons from this verse.

First, it is proof that even divine revelations of the Lord do not correct the flesh in us.

Even after the apostle had listened to the language of Paradise, he still had the old nature, and was in danger of falling into the snare of pride.

“A man in Christ” is safe in the presence of God as he listens to the untranslatable things spoken in paradise, but he needs “a thorn in the flesh” upon his return to earth, for the flesh in him would boast of his paradise experience.

What was Paul’s thorn in the flesh?
