Emanating Christ
What a thought "Diffusing the Fragrance of Christ"
defuse (defined)
become or cause something to become intermingled with a substance by movement, typically in a specified direction or at specified speed.
Does anyone know you have been with Christ? (Acts 4:13b) Is the aroma of Christ being diffused in your life, are others being affected by it?
As Christ followers we should be changed by His presence in our lives, His words should become our words,His thoughts our thoughts, its then that the world around us will change.
I love the definition of defuse "intermingled with a substance by movement" See when Christ gets in us, He will come out of us, it will produce action, movement.... "Love Does"
Paul closes this word with the following statement:
"we are not as so many, peddling the word of God, but as of sincerity"
The word is living, it brings life to those who consume it (Deuteronomy 32:47a). Our deepest desire should be to become the image of Christ to a dying world that "some" might come to know Him as we know Him, that they would know the God that saves, that God that loved them, the God that redeems them.
I leave you with this thought:
- What sets you apart from this world?
- Does anyone see Christ in you?
- Are you diffusing the "words" of Christ
14 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. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. ~2 Corinthians 2:14-17
