the Jesus People: Flower Power by ric Gustafson
The term ' flower power' was coined by poet Allen Ginsburg in 1965. People were asked to be decked in flowers as a form of a anti war demonstration. When we become Christians, we become a fragrance and aroma to God. Aromas are mentioned forty six times in Scripture. Fragrances are mentioned more than twenty times. Through the prophet Ezekiel, God's people became a pleasing fragrance to God.
After God's Son died for our sins on a cross, our lives became a living sacrifice. Now we who belong to Jesus are a sweet fragrance to God. When we live a sacrificial life, we give off an aroma that is pleasing to God.
Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the aroma that leads to life. There is no other.
