What Will You Do With Grace? Grace - 3

A "Man in Christ" and the flesh. 2 Corinthians 12

John Nelson DarbyThere is a great contrast between the beginning and end of this chapter, between Paul caught up to the third heavens and the Christians at Corinth, between what a Christian should be and what he can be, what he can descend to.
