The aroma of life giving Christ!

   Not only was Jesus Preist but he was the last Adam, and our perfect sacrifice - without blemish or default!  This created a sweet aroma that reached up to God!  I was thinking today and have been thinking about it all actually-
   I am sure that the air of heaven is just glistening with that sweet LIFE GIVING aroma of my JESUS!!!
   You know how sometimes after it rains you smell the newness or fresh clean, newly watered smell of things? That soothing aroma of Jesus will carry on the air of all eternity...my brothers and sisters forever we get to be soothed with THE LIFE GIVING SMELL OF JESUS, it is so good that it acually soothed GOD!!!!!!!!  I ask you are we not blessed? There is another occasion in the bible where this happened ....
   In Gen 8:20-21 it says "Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.  And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma.  Then the Lord said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of mans heart is evil from his youth; nor will I destroy every living thing as I have done
   Jesus was that Final unblemished soothing aroma- that final acceptence God took HIS SOOTHING AROMA and found comfort in it.  I too find comfort in the aroma that he shed for me a sinner and now I get to stand with a new smell- not one of sin but one of grace and I eagerly await the gift He so freely gave to spend eternity with the soothing life giving aroma wafting on every eternal breath :0)


5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

You know what else I observed about the sacrafices.
Even in the Old Testminent times God was still so more conserned with us.
The sacrafice was all the fatty things that were not good for us to eat.
The priests got to eat the meat and not the fatty parts God would smell that and take that part.
He is such a good father.

Leviticus 3:2-4 (New International Version)
2 He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood against the altar on all sides. 3 From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the LORD by fire: all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, 4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.

Leviticus 7:2-4 (New International Version)

2 The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be sprinkled against the altar on all sides. 3 All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts, 4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.



Leviticus 7:24-26 (New International Version)
24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be [a] made to the LORD must be cut off from his people. 26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

He is always thinking of us. That wonderful God He is!

Because of Christ's thought's of us- we get to be forever soothed- bathed in the scent of his offering!  Thanks for furthering my study Amy (were it up to me I would just stay here at the comp- surrounded by all my bibles and notebooks just studying praying and soaking up the word - hey wait a min...LOL)
Thanks :0)
