The Fragrances of Jesus
Last Sunday night at youth group, we talked about the fragrances of Jesus, as mentioned in the Song of Solomon. Every attribute of Jesus is the exact opposite of every struggle in our lives when we turn to them instead of Him to fill the desires inside of us. For examples, when we long for love, we turn to lust. The good news is, is that as His beloved ones, we bear His fragrance now, and our identity is not in our sin but in Him and His attributes. So when God looks at us, He doesn't see lust, but His own Son's love. He understands our struggles, but they don't define who we are anymore. So, we went around the room to different stations, and relished in our new identity in Him.
