I'm Taylor and I'm Tyler. This is Scripture Central's Come Follow Me Insights. This week, 2 Corinthians chapters 8 through 13.

So last week when we covered the first set of chapters in 2 Corinthians, we introduced this concept of the great exchange, how the Savior was sent by God to become the embodiment, so to speak, of sin for us, even though

he knew no sin, so that we could come to know his righteousness. We who without him knew no

righteousness. So it's this beautiful exchange epistle. Now today, we continue this idea

of exchanging places, not just with the Savior, but now with other people and with other

situations. And we'll pick that up starting in chapter

eight. Look at verse nine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich,

yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

So in this great exchange portion, he who was the richest of all made himself poor through

the condescension to descend below all of us so that we who are poor could be made rich.

Are you noticing that Paul, he just keeps hitting this theme with them from multiple angles

to make sure they understand this is at the heart and core of everything that he's trying

to teach as an apostle, is that the Savior has an abundance of ability, of love, of power,

of grace, and of mercy to give to us so that we can experience the things that without

him would be impossible. Now, it doesn't stop there, because that was the great exchange between us and the

Lord. So notice how he extends this idea to us. Verse 12, for if there be first a willing mind,

it is accepted according that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not so he's saying if you have a willing

mind then it doesn't matter what you have it matters that you're willing to do this great exchange

with others as well according to whatever you have.

Unlook at verse 13, for I mean not that other men be eased and ye burdened, but by an equality
