Having encouraged the Corinthian church to pursue godliness in the midst of difficulty and hardship, Paul continues in today’s passage to remind them that this life and this body are temporary like a tent, but our established home is in heaven with Christ. As those who represent our heavenly home, we should be ambassadors, or representatives of the kingdom we call home. Our earthly travels and our tasks may be full of dichotomies, for in this life we can afford little, but in the next life we have a rich inheritance. Finally, Paul makes an appeal to the church to be diligent and intentional with the task of setting aside money to give to the work of ministry and missions.
