Paul says we are warriors returning from conquest with the smell of victory incense permeating our presence. To those who see us and know us, this aroma points them to God and his victory for us over death, sin, and hell through Jesus’ saving work. We are God’s conquest, yet we are also “more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37) in Jesus! Let’s live surrendered to the Lord‘s will while spreading the aroma of Jesus’ victory as we live for him! “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.”2 Corinthians 2:14.
