Smell Like Jesus

Good afternoon ladies,

I just got home from subbing at the school. Gary is working at home today so he greeted me with a hug and a comment, “You smell good.”

Now this is not something I usually hear. It is not that I stink; I just never wear perfume, it irritates my nose. But before I left school I had hugged a teacher who wears a very distinctive perfume.

I didn’t smell good-I smelled like Mrs. Fine.

It made me think of something Daniel shared at church a couple of weeks ago. He said that he had a youth pastor who used to challenge them to spend so much time with Jesus that they would not only act like Him, they would smell like Him too.

Interesting, I thought, what would Jesus smell like?

People who have a lot of money, “smell like money” and people who have a lot of power “smell like power.” So, Jesus would probably smell like what He had a lot of.

What did Jesus have a lot of? Love, Jesus had a lot of love. So much that He was willing to die on the cross so that we could have a new life filled with love.

Ephesians 5:1-2
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Go and spend some time with Jesus so that you can pass the aroma on to others.

Love,
Jill
