Has that ever been your answer?  Someone asked you, “How are things going with ________?”  And, you had to answer, “It’s complicated.”  Isn’t it crazy how complicated human relationships can become?  One would think after thousands of years of human history we might start to get a handle on our interactions with others.  Sometimes we can honestly say we don’t even know how it became so messed up.  I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that when our hurts get tangled up with another person’s hurts, strange things can happen.  You have probably heard the little phrase, “Hurt people hurt people.”  Well, that would include all of us!  We’ve all been wounded somewhere along the way to one degree or another.  Some of us have learned how to suppress our symptoms or hide our wounds but eventually, the closer we get to one another, the “Velcro Effect” happens and we get stuck.  That’s what happened with Paul and the church in Corinth.  What started out wonderfully became complicated within a few years.  How did Paul deal with that?  If you can make it to church Sunday in person or on-line, we’ll take a look at the answer from 2 Corinthians 1.  Hint: It has something to do with the grace of Christ .
