Introduction:

1) On to Macedonia (2:12-13).

2) Led in Triumph (2:14-17).

3) The Ministry of the Living Word (3:1-6).

4) The All-Surpassing Glory of Christ (3:7-18).

Conclusion:
- The ministry of the New Covenant is a ministry of the Living Word (not the dead
letter). It is a Spirit-empowered ministry which brings righteousness and freedom to
all who believe.
- How do we reflect the glory of the Lord in our lives? And how do we spread forth
the aroma of Christ in a fallen world?
-- By being “unmasked” (open and honest) about our faith.
-- By encouraging the fruit of the Spirit.
-- By practicing the presence of Christ.
-- By praising and glorifying the father.
