The Fragrance of
Christ
So, take courage when someone tells you that you’re
getting up their nose. To those who love the Lord, you are the pleasant fragrance of life, but in the world, your fragrance will cause offence.
God-tracking is coming out smelling like Christ.
2 Corinthians
2:14
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.
In Exodus, we read how the Lord told Moses to mix fragrant ingredients to form the oil to anoint the artefacts of
the temple. This oil included myrrh, cinnamon and sweet-smelling cane. Anyone who worked in the temple would come out smelling like sweet herbs. It was the fragrance of worship.
Scripture tells us that those who know Jesus as Saviour will gain the aroma of the knowledge of Christ. Wherever they go, they will spread that fragrance. However, a person emanating the fragrance of
Christ becomes a stench in the nostrils of those who do not know Christ. But when a worshipper of God is among fellow worshippers, his fragrance is the sweet smell of worship, like the scent of
myrrh, cinnamon and sweet-smelling cane.
So, take courage when someone tells you that you’re getting up their nose. To those who love the Lord, you are the pleasant fragrance of life, but in the world, your fragrance will cause
offence.
God-tracking is coming out smelling like Christ.
