1 Corinthians 15:35-16:24; Acts 20:1-6; 2 Corinthians 1:1-2:4

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Paul the Apostle is writing about his change of plans, intending at first to come to the Corinthian Christians in person, but then changing his mind. He trusts that the letter he has written to them has had a good effect, and he has some reason for believing so (See 2 Corinthians 7).

But how may I appropriate this verse of scripture? God has made many promises; and all promises amount to "Yes" in Christ. Christ enables me to agree both in those promises and in the divine "Yes." When I agree--Amen!--God is glorified!
