Devotion 11/13, God’s Will
Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
2 Corinthians 2:14
Paul pictures the Lord Jesus marching as the conqueror and leading the apostle in His train. The fragrance of the knowledge of Christ is dispersed through the apostle everyplace he goes.
When we step out of our homes each day we should have the aroma of Christ about us in all we say and do. That aroma should be love, compassion, patience, mercy, and grace for others. When they observe us acting as Christ would act they will know a little bit of what Christ is like. Then maybe they will inquire to know more about why we behave as we do, giving us opportunity to share Jesus with them!
Father, thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins. Thank You for turning the stench of my sin into a sweet smelling aroma through the blood of Your own precious Son. Help me to be a worthy example of You to all I come into contact with Father, for Your glory, honor and praise, Amen!
