Spreading the Fragrance

In 2 Corinthians 2:14–17, Paul compares our life in Christ to a Roman victory parade honoring a general after a successful military campaign. Such a parade in the first century A.D. would have included priests carrying censors with burning spices to fill the streets with a wonderful fragrance. In this analogy, Paul says Jesus is our general who leads us in triumphal procession, and we are like the ones spreading the fragrance of Him everywhere we go. It’s a reminder that not only is Jesus our Conquering King, but we are to spread the knowledge of Him everywhere we go! Are you spreading the fragrance of Christ?
