Moment to Moment

The fragrance of Christ

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.

For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life. Who is adequate for these things? (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)

“To God we are the fragrance of Christ.”

Those are amazing words to me.

To God, I am the fragrance of Christ.

Imperfect though I am, inadequate as I may feel, he says to me, “You are the aroma of my Son to me. Spread his fragrance to everyone you meet.”

I still can’t wrap my head around the grace behind those words. But I choose to see myself as my Father sees me.

I choose to embrace his words and to live them out among everyone I encounter.

“I am the fragrance of Christ.”
