2 Corinthians 12:7 | A Thorn in the Flesh

He could tell a story that makes him look extraordinary. He tells us there is something tormenting him.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7, Paul describes a thorn in the flesh without telling us exactly what it was. This episode leaves the thorn unnamed and considers how we care for people whose suffering we cannot explain.

We can sit beside a person without solving the reason they're hurting. We can ask for help and bring our questions to Christ.

Anchored in 2 Corinthians 12:7, read from the World English Bible. Part of What You Carry on Formation to Transformation.
