What I want is not your possessions but you

2 Corinthians 12:11-21
What I want is not your possessions but you. Paul did not be a burden to Corinth.
Paul looked Corinthians church as his children, as parent for their children.
There are quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder in church. Paul afraid above.
Paul fear there are sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
Paul looks forward to his third visit to Corinth. And the reason for the tone of these last chapters become clear. He is afraid he will find the same bickering splinter-groups, the same arrogance and general disorder that made him write the first letter.
Why?
Paul loves Corinth church as his children.
There are many sinner and behavior in the church in Corinth and in churches now.
What I want is not your possessions but you. How great is the love to the Jesus Christ!
How?
Like the Lord has everlasting love to me!
