II Corinthians 1-3 (Saturday June 28)

Happy Saturday fellow Summer FUN Bible readers! Does anyone know why there is a second Corinthians? The first teen to answer this correctly gets a gift from me in Church tomorrow morning.

In the First Chapter Paul talks about comfort in suffering and then deliverance from suffering. In your walk you will hear people discuss God's part in this. (Is God causing the suffering or is He allowing the suffering? Or is the suffering caused by something else and God is there to deliver from the suffering?)
Verses 17 - 20 - What does verse 20 mean to you?

In Chapter 2 Paul talks about forgiveness again and verse 11 stood out to me; "lest satan should take advantage of us". Is Paul saying that if I don;t forgive that I am opening myself up to the devil taking advantage of me?
Then  in verses 14-17 Paul talks about our triumph in Christ. I love verses 15 and 16. What is the fragrance of Christ? How is it possible that we can have the fragrance of Christ in God's eyes? What does this mean?

In Chapter 3 Paul stresses the importance of The Spirit of the Living God, as opposed to the letter of the law. He explains how much better and more powerful The Spirit is. What is Paul saying here? Why is The Spirit better? Do you know religious people who can quote the whole Bible but don't have The Holy Spirit? What do Christians (me, you and your friends) do to hinder The Holy Spirit?
