What does 2 Corinthians 8:18-19 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The famous brother"s identity is also a mystery. He may have been Luke. [1] Or he may have been any one of a number of others who assisted Paul. The churches of Macedonia, Asia Minor, and Galatia had chosen this man as a courier. They knew him well, and he had won their respect. Paul personally supervised the project for a double reason. He saw it as an opportunity to promote the glory of the Lord and to lend a hand in helping his needy brethren (cf. Matthew 22:37-39).
