The Aroma of Christ

The Aroma of Christ

Bible Reading – 2 Corinthians chapter 2, verses 14-16

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

The Aroma Of Christ

What is the aroma of Christ?

A food’s aroma gives us a hint of how good it is, an emotional response so that we desire it. We can show how good Jesus is, so that people desire Him too.

  • How can we be an aroma of Christ?
  • How will people react to the aroma of Christ?
  • Who is sufficient for these things?

Not us. We must not, cannot say “I am better than everyone else” but instead show and say that “Jesus is better than everyone else!”
