The Aroma of the Christian Life
Leviticus 2:1-16
And when any will offer a meat offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it…


If one should ask you to explain the odour which fills your room from that beautiful climbing honeysuckle, you could not do it; but you are conscious of the fragrance none the less. Just, so there is a quality, a kind of aroma which pervades the personality of certain Christians which is as clearly recognised as the fragrance of the honeysuckle, but which you can as little define or describe.

"When one who holds communion with the skies

Has filled his urn where those pure waters rise

And once more mingles with these meaner things,

'Tis e'en as if an angel shook his wings.

Immortal fragrance fills the circuit wide

And tells us whence these treasures are supplied."
