An Urgent Matter To Attend To
Have you ever known someone who has suddenly had to leave work, an event or perhaps even your home because they had “an urgent matter to attend to?” Have you ever had to suddenly leave a place, an event or a gathering of people because you had “an urgent matter to attend to?” The fact that it was “urgent” means that it couldn’t wait — it had to be addressed immediately. The fact that “you” had to “attend to” it means that no one else would do — it required your personal attention. This afternoon, I would like for us to look at something which the apostle Paul writes in his second letter to the saints in Corinth. It had to do with something which God had done in Christ on their behalf. As we shall see, it required their immediate attention, and by extension our immediate attention as well.
