“PROOF OF MINISTRY”

2 Corinthians 2:12-3:6

• A 1995 prediction at Four Corners

“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. 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. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death of doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such tasks as this?”
