Commentary,
2 Corinthians 5:6-10 [11-13] 14-17, Elisabeth Johnson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "We are obsessed with externals –
with youth and beauty, accomplishments and credentials, productivity
and profit. We are constantly tempted to judge our own worth and
that of others according to "a human point of view." We are tempted
to view worldly success as a sign of God's favor, and conversely, to
view weakness and suffering as a sign of God's absence or even God's
punishment." |

| "The key to understanding these
chapters of 2 Corinthians is to recognise that Paul faces criticism
because of his ministry..." |

|
"Arguing with Paul," Michael A. King, The Christian Century,
2006.
| "When I read the lectionary texts
for this week, I was disappointed...don’t give me Paul always
confident, walking by faith and not sight, apparently really feeling
he’d rather be at home with the Lord than in his body, regarding no
one from a human point of view, celebrating that 'in Christ there is
a new creation. everything old has passed away -- see, everything
has become new!'" |

| "In the pressures of everyday
living, when we struggle to provide for our families, to find a sure
path through economic minefields, to fend off the slings and arrows
leveled at us, our tendency may be to strike out at another. This
text requires us to pause." |
