“FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST!”
2 Corinthians 2:14-15
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”
When bread is first taken out of the oven there is an intense aroma that wafts across our senses that seemingly draws us to come closer. FRESH BAKED BREAD! Oh, the sheer delight! The aroma has announced the prize. You can hardly wait to taste the wonderful flavor of hot bread fresh from the oven.
The next day you notice the remainder of the bread sitting on the counter, but something has changed. Yesterday’s wonderful aroma has faded.There may be a hint of the original smell of fresh baked bread, but not at the same intensity as the day before.
By the third day what is left of the loaf has become stale and its aroma lost. It has become nothing but dried out unappealing bread. You can still remember what it had once been, but it just does not have that fragrant aroma that was so captivating when fresh.
As we read today’s Scripture, we are told that we are to be the aroma of Christ to those around us. What fragrant aroma of Christ, do people sense when they are around you? Do you think they will want to “taste and see that the Lord is good?” Will they come to you when they desire spiritual counsel? I pray that others may find in you the fragrance of Christ!
May God richly bless others by your words and actions!
