Week 31 Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:14–16

Smells Like Christ

Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. - 2 Corinthians 2:14–15

Do you know that you smell amazing? It’s true. The Bible says you have Christ’s signature scent—a glorious, life-giving, full-of-love-and-joy-all-mingled-together, kind of perfume. The truth is, you can’t help but smell like Jesus, because Christ lives inside of you!

Whenever you walk into a room, others will immediately get a whiff of your life-giving scent. Followers of Jesus will love your fragrance. And those curious about Jesus? They’ll be crazy about it too! In fact, God is drawing people into a personal relationship with Jesus through your winning perfume. Pretty cool, right?

But those who reject God? The Bible says they experience your scent differently. To them, it’s a stench. They may even run the other way. And that’s OK.

However people experience it, you have a powerful fragrance. You wear the scent of God.

Who do you that know gives off an amazing Christ scent?
Jesus, it’s crazy knowing the people around me are drawn to You through my fragrance (which, I guess, is really Your perfume anyway!). I like wearing Your signature scent, and I love You too.
