"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. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 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?" (2 Corinthians 2:14-17)
IT HAS AN EFFECT This is true of Jesus! When His life is manifested through the life of one of His disciples, it affects every part of that disciple's life. The life of Christ, when released through His disciples' lives, affects His disciples in a very positive way. Remember, it's the life of a teacher that consumes the learner. Disciples of Jesus are consumed with learning the life of Christ.
CAN WE SEE JESUS? If we can't smell, Jesus what should we be looking for? I'll suggest seven things we should be looking for that manifest the presence of Christ and produce a life-altering smell. There are seven distinctions that will be a reality in our life when we are diffusing the Aroma of Christ. 1. Our reliance upon His Person and Presence (John 4:34). Jesus Himself was totally reliant upon His Father and His purpose to be accomplished. When we see a disciple living life reliant upon the leadership of the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit, we see Jesus being lived out. 2. Our rights have been surrendered to Him (John 5:19, 30). Jesus deferred all rights and results over to His Father. When we find a disciple on a mission surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus, we see Jesus. 3. Our resources are at His disposal (John 6:37, 40). Jes
