2 Corinthians: Unknown Blessings

Have you ever heard of someone who is going through life incredibly blessed, and yet, they don't know it? Maybe their farm is sitting over billions of dollars of oil, but they are struggling to make ends meet. Well, Christians can be like this, and you may be one of them. Do you know how blessed you are? Do you know how superior the New Covenant is than the Old Covenant and the reality that means for you? Do you know how excited Moses, David, Daniel or Isaiah would be if they had your privileges... but they did not have the New Covenant blessings as you have known them! They would rush to study 2 Corinthians!!!
