The Savour of Christ      2 Corinthians 2.12-17

Sunday Teaching Ministry . 11th April 2021
The Apostle Paul explains the effect of Gospel on those who hear it by describing it as a 'savour'. To one group of men the message has an aroma of death, to the other it speaks of life.

2Cor.2.12-17Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
