Fragrance of Christ

^{2 Corinthians 2:14-17 ( NKJV)}

^"14 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. ¹⁵ For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. ¹⁶ To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? ¹⁷ For we are not, as so many,^[b] peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ."

Thanks be to God - who ALWAYS leads us in triumph in Christ!!!
Paul didn't say we "might" be triumphant......or "maybe" we should give thanks in case we are triumphant. He said we are ALWAYS triumphant in Christ.


The next few verse speak about the fragrance of His knowledge being upon us.


If you're a woman who loves your house to smell yummy, you most likely have a diffuser sitting on your coffee table somewhere in your house. What it is, is a jar/vial of fragrant oil and there are a few wood diffuser sticks that come out. The oil travels up the sticks and scents your whole room.


This is what the fragrance of knowledge in Christ is like.

As we allow ourselves to be dipped in His word, in His love, in His knowledge, we begin to soak it up. The sweet aroma of knowledge is upon us.....and people around you will be able to sense God's presence with you.
