Our reading for today is from the book of 2 Corinthians 2. 

2 Corinthians 2:15-16

15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 

16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

We- Christians

Aroma/fragrance/scent- pleasant smell

Source of aroma- Jesus 

We are the aroma of Christ to God. God through us is spreading the aroma of the knowledge of Christ in every place. God intends that the scent of knowing Jesus be smelled in every place through the lives of his people. 

Let us reflect: 

— What kind of scent are we bringing to people? Is it a pleasant scent or a foul one? 

— Does our fragrance brings death or life? 

— Are we getting the source of aroma from Jesus? Do we smell like Jesus everyday?

— Are we spreading the aroma of the knowledge of Jesus and make Him known to our loved ones? Friends? Workmates? 

Jesus smells like sacrificial service for the good of others.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

The smell of Christ is a pleasing fragrance to God. Our sufferings, afflictions, “not my will but yours be done” smell like Jesus to the Father. Everything we do for the glory of Jesus, if it’s according to God’s Words and will is pleasing to the Father. 

Let’s persevere to think like Jesus, act like Jesus, and wear the fragrance of Jesus all the time. 

Amen
