| You travel light. There's nothing worse than having too much baggage. VERY TRUE! You have a restless heart, and you get sick of the same old routine. You don't just love change, you crave it.
The world fascinates you. You maintain a childlike curiosity about everything. Actually, I'm more like Seinfeld... |
Bible in a Year : Psalms 18–19; Acts 20:17–38
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession. 2 Corinthians 2:14
In 2016 when the Chicago Cubs baseball team won the World Series for the first time in more than a century, some sources said that five million people lined the parade route and gathered at a downtown rally to celebrate the championship.
Victory parades are not a modern invention. A famous ancient parade was the Roman Triumph, in which victorious generals led a procession of their armies and captives through crowded streets.
Such parade imagery was likely in Paul’s mind when he wrote to the Corinthian church thanking God for leading believers “as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession” (2 Corinthians 2:14). I find it fascinating that in this imagery, followers of Christ are the captives. However, as believers we’re not forced to participate, but are willing “captives,” willingly part of the parade led by the victorious, resurrected Christ. As Christians, we celebrate that through Christ’s victory, He’s building His kingdom and the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
When we talk about Jesus’s victory on the cross and the freedom it gives believers, we help spread the “aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere” (2 Corinthians 2:14). And whether people find the aroma to be the pleasing reassurance of salvation or the odor of their defeat, this unseen but powerful fragrance is present everywhere we go.
As we follow Christ, we declare His resurrection victory, the victory that makes salvation available to the world.
What does Jesus’s victory on the cross mean to you? How are you living out the power of His resurrection?

It’s been an ok day. Nuttin’ special other than we got a touch of rain.
Work on the wall came to a halt when Hubby turned the thermostat down a little on the AC and the house got warmer. *sigh* What next?
Sitting here enjoying a CBS special on Apollo 11 before getting to work. Hard to believe it’s been 50 years. I’m getting goosebumps just like I did when it happened.
