Smelling like Jesus

Peter Leithart remarks:

Christ has poured the oil of the Spirit upon us, anointing us with the fragrant oil of priesthood.  In Christ, we are living sacrifices, spreading the aroma of Christ, a savor of life and death.  Because we are enveloped with the aroma of the Spirit, we are a sweet savor to the Father.  We are quickened not only by hearing the Name of Jesus, but by its aroma, since His “name is like oil poured out.”
