My favorite passage of scripture is:

2 Corinthians 2: 14-17: But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.

I really like the image of being an "aroma." We often hear "be a light for Christ," but an "aroma" can go everywhere—even through closed doors! I also like how it says we are sent from God . . . like a plate of freshly baked cookies. We are a special gift!

Campers, think about your favorite smells. How does it make you feel when you walk into a room? Do you have that same effect on those around you? As Christians, we are to be the fragrance of God. Is your life a good or bad smell to God? To others?
