Lesson 8 - Two Covenants

Galatians 4:19-20 contains comments on the personal nature Paul had with these Christians. They meant a great deal to him. He had once labored to bring them to Christ. Now, the problems they were experiencing are compared to the pains of childbirth. Paul was gravely concerned about them and fearful of their continued departure from Jesus. In fact, he desperately wanted to be with them. But circumstances prevented him from being with them face to face, and as a result he was at a loss as to what to do.
