2 Corinthians 2:15-16

For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.

Our lives are real on this earth and meant for a purpose.  Every day we get up and choose to focus our lives on Jesus we bring a sweet smell.  How many people on this planet would be affected if we were suddenly gone?  How stinky would this world become with all the death?  We bring the presence of Jesus into our communities, schools, work, and homes.  We are a sweet smell “the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved.”  That makes we want to praise Jesus for taking up the cross and bringing out of the fragrance of death to the sweet smell of life.
