Scripture

2 Corinthians 2

14 But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?

Observation

It is true that Christ-followers have a smell about them. People that accept Christ love us and people that reject Christ can’t stand us. To some we smell very very good and to others we really really stink! To some we are smelly smelly good and to other folks we are smelly smelly bad. In fact, we are a life-giving perfume to those that are saved.

Have you been around someone lately that has been wearing a very good smelling perfume or cologne? Have you been around a Christian lately that just had a Christ-like fragrance about them? Are you smelly smelly good with the fragrance of Christ today?

This has reminded me that my wife when she wants to send me an e-card she always sends me a Hallmark “hoops&yoyo”card. Just click here to check them out. Why not send one to someone today?

Application

I want to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere I go today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me be smelly smelly good with the fragrance of Christ! Amen.
