2 Corinthians 2:14-17

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God. -2 Corinthians 2:14-17

When I was in high school, there was a cologne by Japanese designer Issey Miyake the was super popular with the boys.  The guys wanted to smell good hoping to attract the girls.  Not sure if it worked, but whenever you travelled down the hallways of Tenafly High School, you can smell that Issey Miayke cologne.

As Christians, we also have a “spiritual” scent or aroma.  When we do good to others, our Christian scent becomes noticeable to others.  When we reach out to the outcast and the ostracized at our school, our Christian scent becomes stronger.  When we refuse to participate in academic dishonesty, the Christian scent can be detected.  And when we are kind and generous in our words toward others, that aroma of Christ is released into the spiritual air.

Do you carry the aroma of Christ with you?  Can people smell Jesus on you?  Are you drenched in cologne or perfume by designer Jesus Christ?  OR, do you smell just like everyone else?  People can’t even tell that you’re a Christian.
