The sillage of Christ
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.”
Someone sits down next me on the plane and my only thought is how can I get away? What is that cologne? Was a whole bottle used? I can't breathe!
It's not at all like Miss Benson, my third grade teacher. Every time she walked by, my only thought was how nice her perfume smelled. I hoped she would pass by again!
Let our lives be a pleasant fragrance rather than an obnoxious odor. Chances are we'll be invited to come by time and time again.
Incidentally, the word sillage relates to how a smell lingers. It's a property of perfumes and colognes.
