do I have the right scent?In a CCN evening service recently, I was listening to Leah speak on ID. She referenced Jacob & it got me to thinking. We see in the Genesis 27 story that Isaac was eventually won over that Jacob was in fact Esau. It wasn't the voice (his words) since that wasn't authentic (v.22), likewise it wasn't the touch (his actions) though this came close (v.24). Isaac was convinced by the fact that Jacob had the correct smell...
He came close and kissed him and Isaac smelled the smell of his clothes. Finally, he blessed him (v.27)
As we go through life, we can say & do the right things, my prayer, however, is that we will carry God's scent on us, such that those that come close will find Jesus in us & find Him for themselves.
Let's stay fragrant
Jonathan
