2 Corinthians 2:14
"Now thanks be unto God,
which always causeth us to triumph in Christ"
Our viewpoint for God must not be as near the highest as we can get, it must be the highest. The viewpoint that I am talking about and one we must maintain is that we are here for one purpose only; to be captives in Christ's triumphs. We are not in God's showroom, we are here to exhibit one thing; the absolute captivity of our lives to Jesus Christ. How small the other viewpoints in life. I am standing alone battling for Jesus; I have to maintain the cause of Christ and hold this fort for Him. Paul says; I am in the train of a conqueror, and it does not matter what the difficulties are, I am always led in triumph.
Is this idea being worked out in us? Paul's secret joy was that God took him, a rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a captive of the Lord, he had no other interest in heaven or in earth. It is a shameful thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. The Victor ought to have got us so completely that it is His victory all the time, and we are more than conquerors through Him. "For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ." We are encased with the love of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.
