Analysing the Verse...[17]

This is the rough idea of the new format that we'll be doing after you're ready to go up another level :-) It's a little bit tedious but we won't do it everyday. Maybe once a week for start. See when you're ready...

The Certainty of This Triumph
"who always causes us to triumph"
What a thrilling truth this is. Not just sometimes, not just occasionally, but A-L-W-A-Y-S! This means we can be victorious all the time.

The Ambassadors of This Triumph
"by us"
The responsibility of proclaiming this message is over to us, as ambassadors of the gospel. We have the privilege and the responsibility of passing on the Good News to others.

We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

[2 Corinthians 5:20]

The Outreach of This Triumph
"in every place"
In every place you go today, take the joy and testimony of Christ's triumph. Let it shine forth in everything you do.
