Smell is a powerful thing. Some scents draw us in instantly, while others push us away just as fast. Most of us agree on certain “pleasant” smells, but others are surprisingly divisive. What one person loves, another can’t stand.
The apostle Paul taps into this exact experience in 2 Corinthians when he uses scent as a metaphor for the Christian life. He says that our lives carry an aroma to the world around us. And while many of us hope our faith will be received like a universally pleasant fragrance, the reality is more complicated. The gospel of Jesus Christ is welcomed by some and rejected by others—deeply attractive to a few, deeply offensive to many.
This week at Grace, we’ll explore what Paul means by this metaphor and how it frees us from trying to manage everyone’s reaction to our faith. We’ll talk about what it looks like to live faithfully, even when the gospel doesn’t “smell good” to everyone—and how that truth can help us walk together as a church.
