Additional Teaching Ideas
The following material supplements the suggested lesson outline. You may want to use one or both of these ideas as part of the lesson.
1. The “outward man” and the “inward man” (2 Corinthians 4:16)
-
Paul spoke of the “outward man” and the “inward man” (2 Corinthians 4:16). What might these two phrases mean? How might the “inward man [be] renewed day by day”? (2 Corinthians 4:16).
2. “Ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
-
Paul said that he and Timothy were “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20). What is an ambassador? (An ambassador is an official representative who speaks in behalf of the leadership of a country or organization. An ambassador works to establish good relationships between the people he or she represents and other people.) How were Paul and Timothy ambassadors for Jesus Christ? How can each of us be an ambassador for Jesus Christ?
