What Does 2 Corinthians 7:6 Mean?
Against the dark backdrop of verse 5 comes a turning word: nevertheless. God did not leave Paul in his distress. The Lord is named here by what He does -- He comforts those who are brought low.
That comfort arrived in a very human form: the coming of Titus, Paul's coworker and messenger to Corinth. God often sends His consolation through people, through the simple gift of a friend's presence and good news. The downcast are precisely the ones God draws near to, and in Christ that nearness is sure.
