Lent - Day 31: Pleasing Aroma
Light a candle.
Be still.
Listen to the voice that says you are enough and you are the aroma of Christ.
Scripture:
2 Corinthians 2:14-3:6
[14]But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal
procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes
from knowing him. [15]For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who
are being saved and among those who are perishing; [16]to the one a fragrance
from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is
sufficient for these things? [17]For we are not peddlers of God's word like so
many; but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God
and standing in his presence.
[1]Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Surely we do not need, as some
do, letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we? [2]You yourselves are
our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all; [3]and you
show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but
with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of
human hearts.
[4]Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. [5]Not that
we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our
competence is from God, [6]who has made us competent to be ministers of a new
covenant,
