Recently, when I was reading the bible, I received a revelation.


2 Cor 2:14-15


"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." (v.14)


"For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing." (v.15)


The words "through us" in verse 14 reminded me of Ps. Kong's sermon last week. God uses man. Then verse 15 says that we are to God fragrance of Christ.


So God wants to use us as a sweet aroma to spread (diffuse) His love to the world. Though in the verse it says "His knowledge", my impression was His love for us.


And the more amazing thing I learnt was this. Being fragrance of Christ means we are nice smelling. So, naturally people are attracted to us! =)


As I read on to 2 Cor 3, in verse 5 to 6 it says "...our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient..." Since God made us sufficient, it means we're good enough. We're adequate before Him. =)


Not only that, verse 6 also says "...the Spirit gives life." So, God made us good enough to bring life to the people around us by His Spirit.


His grace is sufficient for us. Amen.
