Read : 2 Corinthians 2
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. - 2 Corinthians 2:14
As British writer Guy King stood on a railroad station platform, a train pulled into the station. Members of a soccer team returning from a game got off. News had not yet reached home as to the outcome of the game. A small boy wiggled his way through the crowd and asked one of the players the score. As soon as he heard it, he ran excitedly up and down the platform shouting, "We won! We won!" That youngster was brimming with joy because he identified himself with the players, Their victory was his victory.
We too can participate in a great celebration because Jesus won the victory over sin nearly 2000 years ago. He paid sin's penalty by dying on the cross, and He broke its power by rising from the dead. We share in his victory through faith because "as He is, so are we in this world" (1 Jn:4:17). We can thank God "who always leads us in triumph in Christ " (2 Cor.2:14).
Victory, not defeat, should be the norm in the Christian life. God sees every believer in Christ, whom He raised from the dead and seated "at His right hand...far above all principality and power" (Eph. 1:20-21). Because He is the victor and we are "in Him", we too can be victorious over sin. - Paul Van Gorder
Each conflict into which you come
Was won on Calvary
'Tis ours to claim what Christ has done
And hold the victory. - Jessop
We Can Be More Than "Conquerors" When We Yield Ourself To The All-Conquering Christ.
