Pardon me, Sir/Ma’am, to you, do I stink??
Or to you, am I a pleasant fragrance?
Before responding with blank stares and
blinks,
Let me clarify my question’s essence.
I speak not of my breath or body personal,
But of all my messages Biblical.
To you, are the words I speak Godly seed
kernel,
Or just useless spiritual babel?
Knowledge of Christ is a dual fragrance. *
That knowledge is likely what you smell; perhaps it’s God’s breath.
To us who’re saved, it’s ever so pleasant.
To those who are hell-bound, it’s the stench
of eternal death.
So take a deep breath, smell me and my kind.
I hope you’ll not only smell, but also
taste,
Taste the love of Christ; to you it’s
inclined.
Come! Experience His astonishing Grace.
Here is one thing to ponder before I quit:
You, yes you have dual fragrances, too!
Think about the fragrances your life emits,
Then imagine: ‘Who smells which smell’ from YOU?
----------
* 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 (latter) one, we are the aroma of death, leading to death, and to the other
(former), the aroma of life, leading to life.
(2 Corinthians 2:14-16)
