Numbers 28:24 In this way present the food offering every day
for seven days as an aroma pleasing to the Lord….
2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of
Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
Name an aroma or two that is
pleasing to you. What does just the thought of that aroma trigger in your mind?
What aromas awaken in our minds
pleasing memories and an invitation to all whose senses are awakened by them? Buttered popcorn, freshly baked bread, a baby’s
powdered skin, a brat fry.
The aromas of Israel’s food
sacrifices were ‘pleasing to the Lord.’ because they were acts of obedient worship.
Christ’s obedient act of worship,
his sacrifice on the Cross, produced an aroma
pleasing to God, reminding God of the salvation of God’s children.
We are not the sacrifice. We
are the aroma the sacrifice produces, a daily reminder to God of Christ’s sacrifice.
A daily affirmation to ourselves and those
we meet that Jesus loves us.
Is your life an aroma pleasing
to God and inviting to your neighbors?
May the pleasing aroma of
Christ fill every room.
