Gospel Spreader

2 Corinthians 2

14 But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?
17 You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

The thought that God uses me to spread the knowledge of Christ is overwhelming. See, I know what a sinful goober I am, and so does God. Yet, God CHOOSES to use me to spread the Gospel anyway! I cannot praise Him enough, nor can I thank Him enough for His great love for me. I am blown away to think that God uses me in this way. I am not arrogant enough to think I am worthy of this great honor, and I am humbled when students and former students of mine talk about how I have impacted their lives for Christ. Thank You Lord for the privilege of serving You in this way!
