God calls Christians to be a sweet aroma to the world around them. To project a pleasant and God-honoring effect upon their environment, regardless of the troubles life brings us. God calls us to consider these truths in 2 Corinthians 2.

Paul is under attack from people inside the church of Corinth, yet he responds with care and integrity. Paul knows that churches are filled with sinners, so he challenges us to stay focused on our callings as God's messengers.

Paul begins the book of 2 Corinthians in a very practical call for God to be our comfort. Paul was no stranger to challenge. Yet, as distressing as his challenges were, he sought his comfort in the Lord, and he carefully calls us to do the same.

Jesus is confronted with accusations against His authority and His kingdom. His response not only stops the attack and lies, but also invites the listeners to respond from their hearts in allegiance to His superior Kingdom.

The cross represents the power of Jesus Christ and His work of salvation. This work transforms people, leaving a lasting effect upon them that is meant to be displayed before the world. Paul challenges us in this passage to let our walk be a living testimony of the glory of the cross.
