The aroma of Christ

For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:15-17 ESV)

Christ has sent us into the world to share His word with sincerity, to tell His story and how our own story is a part of it.  These words are the aroma of Christ to all who hear them.  What a powerful thought, think about how strongly your sense of smell is tied in with your memories.  Think about how far away you can be from something and still smell it, or know that it is close by.  We are just like that in the world, wherever we go, the aroma of Christ is in the air, and people know it.  Let us not shy away from this, but instead let us embrace it with conviction...until the whole world hears!
