2 Cor 2:14-17 (NIV)But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ aong those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one weare an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? nlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
We often pray before services on Sunday that God would use us to draw people into his presence. That we might be used by him like windows that people could see right through and to God himself. You can look through a window, but a window can also reveal a reflection when you look into it. So imagine for a moment, that we are practiced and prepared. That we are prayed up and ready to lead people in worship on Sunday. As we ourselves begin to turn our hearts towards God get lost and immersed in His presence, we become windows that people can see through, to God's throne. They are no longer looking at us, but seeing past us to God and experiencing him for themselves. And as they look back at the window, they don't see us or even themselves, but a reflection of Christ.
When we do all we can to prepare to lead people in worship; it is then our job to get out of the way so that if they do look upon us they see nothing but a reflection of Christ on us.
