Shebu walked us through a challenging concept of Church discipline. Challenging us to see how forgiveness and restoration are at the heart of Christ-centred discipline.

As we reflect on our own lives and relationships, we are invited to consider where we might need to reaffirm our love—to family, to church members, or even to ourselves. The power to forgive and restore does not come from our own strength, but from the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead and now lives in us. In this, we become a community marked not by perfection, but by the ongoing, supernatural work of grace and restoration.

Paul’s words to the Corinthians invite us to wrestle with the nature of true commitment—God’s, Paul’s, and our own. He begins by affirming his clear conscience and unwavering devotion to the church, not as a boast in himself, but as a testimony to God’s grace at work. Paul’s relationship with the Corinthians is not transactional or superficial; it is rooted in the deep, enduring bond forged by Christ’s mission and the Spirit’s work. He longs for a day when, before Christ, both he and the Corinthians will rejoice in each other’s faithfulness, recognising how God has used their mutual commitment for his glory.

When we think of comfort, our minds often drift to cozy images—warm food, soft beds, or the embrace of a loved one. Yet, God's comfort is far deeper and more profound than any earthly coziness. God, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, is not distant or indifferent to our suffering. He is present in our afflictions, providing relief, strength, encouragement, and the resolve to endure. This comfort is not a tranquilliser that dulls our pain, but a divine fortification that enables us to stand firm in the face of trials.
