Have you ever been walking in somewhere and it seemed like you were in the trail of someones scent? The further you walked the sweet fragrance became stronger. In your mind you were hoping the fragrance would stay, so you could enjoy it the rest of your time there. Then, amongst the crowd you felt yourself getting closer to the aromatic scent. Maybe hundreds of people in that place but at that moment it was just you and the scent.

Have you been there before? Maybe someone was sporting some really great cologne or perfume? Ah, that scent, you are still fond of it's memory now.

We (Christians) are that sweet smelling aroma. We are the exquisite fragrance that captivates the whole room. We are Christ's fragrance.

2 Corinthians 2:14-15 NCV
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's victory parade . God uses us to spread His knowledge everywhere like a sweet-smelling perfume. Our offering to God is this: We are the sweet smell of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are being lost."

I like how the NKJV puts the first part of this scripture 14-15a: "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ..."

Remember that person you were following because they smelled so good? We (Christians) are being followed too. People are attracted to the fragrance. Just like you had to know what cologne it was, people have to know what it is that is different about us.

I would think that your scent of Christ could be made stronger by your level of commitment to Him and your time spent with Him. So, my question is this: How much Christ are you putting on today?

Most people enjoy the scent of a nice perfume. Be led in triumph...diffuse the fragrance of God in every place!
