Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 .
"Through us in every place Remember the smell of "2 Corinthians 2:14
You can not see, hear or touch, but the flavor is powerful. The smell of things such as crayons, petunias and perfumes evoke memories me back to the past and I bring to mind people and places that otherwise would not remember.
Some celebrities have fragrances that bear their names. The fans can identify with an actress or a singer using perfumes with their names. In this connection, the magazine Ladies Home Journal published a questionnaire to help readers determine which is the perfect fragrance for women. The idea is that for be remembered that a woman must have a aroma with which it is associated.
The concept is not new personal fragrance. God included it as part of worship. In the tabernacle, a particular substance should be associated with the Lord (Exodus 30:34-35 ). People were forbidden to use it for anything other than the worship (vv . 37-38).
This concept continues in the new covenant, but with a striking difference. Instead of using incense to make people think of Him, God uses the faithful as his "personal fragrance" to the world (2 Corinthians 2:14-15 ). God identifies with us in a way so powerful is a concept that truly humbling, and makes me wonder, "What do people think of God as a result of being around me?".
Reflection: A life lived for God is a pleasant fragrance.
