Commentary on 2 Corinthians 2:13

Theological / Devotional

No rest. Paul’s state of anxiety continued until he finally met Titus in Macedonia. So overwhelming was his anxiety that he could not tarry to preach in Troas, even though the prospects there were bright. Here is evidence of Paul’s intense personal interest in his converts. We have no other record of Paul’s turning away from “an open door.” The most successful worker for God is not always above deep emotion that may unsettle him and render it impossible for him to continue his work for a time. While crisis confronted the work of Christ at Corinth, Paul could neither rest nor concentrate his faculties on other activities.

Into Macedonia. Macedonia lay on the way to Corinth, and there Paul could expect to meet Titus sooner than at Troas.
