Daily Bible Reading – January 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Unity in Christ JesusShembull

January 15

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with Paul describing his visit to Troas, a major seaport city located in the northwest corner of Asia Minor. He then describes the victory believers through Christ experience.

Scripture Reading

2 Corinthians 2:12-17

Today’s Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 2:15

For we are like a sweet-smelling incense offered by Christ to God, which spreads among those who are being saved and those who are being lost.

Reflect

When Paul arrived in Troas, what brought him joy? What was the cause of his concern? What is the victory Paul speaks of (verse 14)? Reread verses 14-16. In what ways can you be like “sweet-smelling incense” to others?

Pray

Loving God, teach me to be like a sweet fragrance, spreading the knowledge about Christ everywhere, and teach me to be like “sweet-smelling incense,” giving glory and honor to you. Amen.
