How do we smell today? Are we fragrant like a flower, sweet like honey, have the smell of sweat and toil, or are we rancid like death? The Bible speaks about smell in many ways, but none more powerful than when it speaks of the fragrance of life, and death on us. When we think of scent we most often think of the smells that surround us, but we are one of those odors... so how do we smell spiritually today?
God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are far more than spiritual thoughts that have no substance; they manifest themselves in the world every day through miracles, and by allowing us to experience them through visions, sound, touch, taste, and, yes, smell. Yesterday we discussed the sweet scent of anointing oil, the foul odor of death, and the fragrance of saints known as Osmogenesia, along with others. Today let’s continue this discussion of smell by delving into the aroma of Christ, and understanding how we ourselves are meant to carry it, and spread it throughout the world.
