WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Bring in the sick, lost, hopless....

Hi...
Greetings...

Our Lord came to seek and save the lost.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
Mark 2: 15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
The self righteous Pharisees were  not happy to Jesus eat with sinners. But Jesus loved them and knew they needed Him the most.
Mark 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Are we turning our face away from people who we think are not of our kind? They are the ones who need to see Christ's love in us and through us.
Our Lord wants to see many souls won for the Kingdom.
God. He came to save them.
Luke 5: 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Luke 14:23 "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full.
That's why the Lord wanted us to go into the world a preach the Gospel.
There are millions who need to know about our Lord and His salvation plan.
The Lord chose us and now has a mission for us.
Isaiah 42:6 "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
       I will take hold of your hand.I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people
       and a light for the Gentiles, 
7 to open eyes that are blind,
       to free captives from prison
       and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

Christ's mission on earth was this and now God wants us to be imitators of Christ. We are blessed to fulfil God's mission.
We need to seek Christ's Righteousness to be imitators of Him.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Let's reflect Christ. Let His love rule and reign in us.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Let's go to the struggling, the lost, the wandering, the hopeless, the sick, the lost, the backslidden, with the Word of Life and Hope.
Stay blessed...
