Do you smell like Jesus?

Grace and peace to you fellow workers,
 
How great indeed is our Lord GOD. HE has rescued us, He has restored us and He has released us out into the world, for the purpose of spreading the knowledge of His son Jesus Christ, like a sweet smelling perfume among the nations. Brothers and Sisters this is not a task we can accomplish on our own but thanks be to God our strength Who has promised to will and to work through us His good pleasure. Rather we are like the cotton ball who only carries the scent of what ever it is saturated with. 

"     Thanks be to God who leads us, wherever we are, on his own triumphant way and makes our knowledge of him spread throughout the world like a lovely perfume! We Christians have the unmistakeable “scent” of Christ, discernible alike to those who are being saved and to those who are heading for death. To the latter it seems like the very smell of doom, to the former it has the fresh fragrance of life itself. " 2 Corinthians 2:14-16a  J.B. Phillips New Testament

The question we should be asking ourselves is this. Does the aroma of Christ pervade my life to the extent that the smell is obvious to those around me? As J.B. put it, "the very smell of doom" to those that are perishing and "the fresh fragrance of life itself." to those who are being saved. 
  
So smell up the world around you today for the glory of our great God. 
 
For the Joy of Your Faithful scent,
Teagan
