New on TikTok: Epistle (2 Corinthians 1:3-7, from Greek Original): Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 3rd-Grade Paraphrase: Praise God! He’s the Dad of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Dad who gives kindness, and the God who makes us feel better in every way. He cheers us up when we’re in big trouble, so we can cheer up others who are in trouble with the same cheer God gives us. Just like we go through a lot of hard times like Jesus did, we also get a lot of cheering up through Jesus. If we’re sad, it’s to help you feel better and be saved. If we’re cheered up, it’s to help you too, so you can keep going through the same hard stuff we do. We’re sure about you, because if you share our hard times, you share our cheering up too! Gospel (Matthew 16:24-27, from Greek Original): Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds.” 3rd-Grade Paraphrase: Then Jesus told his friends, “If somebody wants to follow me, he has to say no to what he wants, pick up his cross, and come with me. Because if you try to keep your life safe, you’ll lose it. But if you give up your life because of me, you’ll find it for real. What good is it if a guy gets the whole world but loses his soul? Or what can he trade for his soul? Because the Son of Man will come in his Dad’s shiny glory with his angels, and then he’ll pay back every person for what they’ve done.
