It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Look, bragging about myself really isn't the move here. But I'll tell you about some visions and revelations God has shown me.
Sometimes you have to share your God moments, even when talking about yourself feels weird.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians amid ongoing conflicts with false teachers who were undermining his authority by boasting about their own experiences. Paul reluctantly decided to discuss his own visions and revelations from the Lord to demonstrate the legitimacy of his apostleship, emphasizing that such matters were not for personal glory. This reflects the broader challenges in the early church, where establishing genuine spiritual leadership was crucial amidst competing claims and cultural pressures.
