What love got to do with it. I tell you it has everything to do with,the greatest emotion God gave us the only thing you can subtract and it multiply Real Love you find yourself in the present of God.

"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." Ephesians 5:2.

I put some meat in a crockpot the other night to cook while I slept. As the hours went on, the aroma of the meat cooking filled the room. It smelled so good. I thought of the animal whose life was sacrificed so that I could eat its meat. The thought that the animal's life was sacrificed tasted of death - that, I did not find savour in that. Yet, the aroma of the meat was very savory to me in every way.

I thought of the sacrifices that God required of Israel; and, how the aroma of the sacrifices must have pleased God.

I thought of all the stench of death that God must smell from all the sins and perversions man is continually doing here on earth. And, yet, I thought of the one savour that brings pleasure to God. The one burnt offering. The one perfect offering. Jesus. There is no other savour, but, the savour of Jesus Christ that pleases, satisfies, placates God. Man may seek to offer up other incenses, and burn sacrifices with strange fire, but, there is only one smell that pleases God. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, offered up once for all, is the continual sweet smelling savour pleasing unto God. We, too, are a sweet smelling savour unto God because of Christ in us. There is no other savour, but, the savour of Jesus Christ that pleases God.
