In 2 Corinthians 11 we read of the very large list of Paul's sufferings.
They are very severe....
There are beatings, floggings, lashes, shipwrecks, imprisonments, stonings, hunger etc etc.
Added to all those Paul writes towards the end of all those sufferings...
...."Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches" (v.28)
Paul had these "big" sufferings going on for him, but he also had the concern that the young churches.
No doubt he was worried that they would stay true to the Gospel - that they would be free from false teaching and division.
Those who are in any position of leadership need to be concerned for the same things.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
