The sweet fragrance of His life

It’s what God saw in Christ—the sweetness that came out under pressure. Now sometimes today sweetness doesn’t come out of us under pressure. But the more tension upon Him the sweeter He was, and the Lord Jesus made this statement, “And He that sent me,” He says, “is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone, for I do always those things that please Him.” And, therefore, believers have the high privilege of sharing Christ, you see, with God the Father. It’s what God sees in Christ. But what do you see in Him? Is there sweetness about Him? Have you smelled the sweetness and the fragrance of His life?
