Dream(Fragrance of Christ)

I was in a foreign place by myself waiting to find lodging and wasn’t sure where to go.
I was to catch a flight home the next day.
Some people were leaning into me sniffing strongly some pleasant aroma.
They were lingering and kept asking what I was wearing and I said I hadn’t put on perfume.
One foreign man came super close and couldn’t get enough of the aroma and his nostrils kept deeply sniffing me and I was pondering it all.
Then he introduced a tall man who was gallant/showy, thinking highly of himself and was flattering in speech but did not sniff me.
In fact he was standing back from me.
The other man stayed and helped me with what I needed to find a place and get home.

This is the scripture that came to me.

“For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Isn't this the truth.


Learning this more and more.

“and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

I've had many tell me when they hug me that I smell good but, thanks be to God, through His followers He spreads the aroma of Himself.
