August 1, 2025 LED IN HIS TRIUMPH
2 Corinthians 2:14-16 “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in His triumph in Christ, and manifest through us the sweet aroma of His presence in the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to one an aroma from death to death, to others and aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
I’m not sure we get it. Is it really true that God can/will always lead us in His triumph? You know the answer; God’s word is true whether we fully understand it or not. The awesome and amazing truth is that yes, when our heart is turned to God and when we are walking in the Spirit, God always leads us in His triumph in Christ. The key is that we are in Christ, and Christ is in God; and God is always triumphant. We have to know that we are not separated from God-ever. Wherever we go, in every trial and in every victory, Christ is with us. And hear this; we are a fragrance of Christ! Let that sink in. Our life, our countenance, our mindset, our words-all we are can reflect Christ. Through us, God manifest the sweet aroma of the presence of Christ in every place!! If you have a scent candle burning, the aroma fills the room; and if you move the candle to another room, the aroma follows. There is no ‘secular’ life for us; all we do and all we are is to be a reflection of Christ in us. The candle does not have to work at producing an aroma-it just happens; neither do we have to ‘produce,’ we simply reflect Christ. Christ leads us to do certain things, but the things we do are a reflection; we work out, or express what He is doing in us. Again, we are not producers, but reflectors. Out of our new hearts flow the life of Christ.
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I like by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
