At the close of his second letter to the church at Corinth, Paul gives a final statement of encouragement and blessing. It is fitting to end a letter that is filled with a defense of the gospel of grace by drawing our attention to the Triune God’s work of grace in our lives. There is a reason why this verse is a beloved benediction used at the end of many worship services – it summarizes who God is and what He has done for His people. It may be the last verse, but it is not the least verse in this book. The Lord has given us a “Threefold Blessing” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

I. What is This?

II. What Does it Mean?
