Text — 2 Corinthians 2:14-17
Message
Aroma is a distinct and pleasant odour. Aroma has a sweet and fragrant scent that pleases the nose. Also, an aroma smells but never stinks.
Christians are referred to in our Bible passage as the sweet fragrance of Christ. A believer is a burnt offering, a sweet aroma to the Lord. The fragrance of God’s grace is all around us. When you surrender your life to Jesus, you no longer have the bad odour of sin, but rather a sweet aroma of grace. God’s children, saved by grace, are to Him like fragrant incense.
Your new life in Christ represents a sweet aroma of life. You are fresh and pleasant, living each day as a blessing to those around you. As you begin another day, carry the sweet aroma of God with you. Allow others to experience the sweetness of Jesus Christ through you. If you are not yet friend of Jesus, this is the time to make right step, repent and confess your sins to God. Ask for forgiveness and cleansing of your heart with the blood of Jesus. Now, go out to sweeten the lives of others.
