Lk 10:16 An Attractive Perfume and the Stench of Death


Luke 10:16 (NLT) Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.”
We who are disciples of Jesus have an awesome responsibility. We who bear His name and claim to follow Him embody Jesus’ message and life. We are sent out by God and may be the best chance some people have of ever responding to God’s claims on their lives. We are called to be a sweet perfume attracting people to God and the stench of death to those who reject Him. The way we look at people, how we express ourselves, the way we do even mundane tasks, communicates a message. Does it communicate our intimate ‘friendship’ with our creator or a careless disregard for Him?
Father help us to live up to your high calling, may I be Jesus to those I meet today.
