For we are to God the fragrance of Christ



2 Corinthians  2:15

One Sunday morning on one of my metro rides in Delhi , I got super impressed when I saw a young gentleman(non Indian) carrying a big Bible with him . During our very short conversation he told me that he is new in Delhi and still figuring out a church to go to . I was happy to help and decided to give him my number when he asked me for the same. 

However this was a bad decision. Despite him knowing that I have a family he started  to bother me with unwanted calls . It was getting too much that my husband had to intervene. He was upset that I trusted a stranger with my number. However I got easily misled by the big Bible that he was carrying and thought he would be a fine gentleman! Must say this incident left me to be more wiser and discerning.

Carrying a Bible does not mean that we carry Christ like qualities in us . Christ like qualities translate into actions . This can only happen when we become not only hearers of the word but be doers of the word as well . When we interact with people what do they see in us ? As Christians are we spreading the fragrance of Christ or letting Him down each time by how we behave in our work place, at home or out there in the world when we are with others ? 

As Christians we have a higher calling . Just like in the words of John the Baptist - ‘ He must become greater , I must become less ‘( John 3:30) Let’s carry Christ like selfless love, humility,peace and joy where ever we go.
