CHRIST the FRAGRANCE of GOD: “Your name is ointment poured forth” (Song 1:3). Here’s the amazing thing: unlike the holy anointing oil in Israel, which could not “be poured on man’s flesh” under penalty of being “cut off” (Ex 30:25-33), today we can share the same fragrance (see 2 Cor 2:14)! Let me give a real-life example of this. Ira Sankey was the well-loved song leader and hymn writer in the Moody evangelistic campaigns. He said of an old Scots farmer named Frazer: “The very first recollection I have of anything pertaining to religious life was in connection with him. I remember he took me by the hand, along with his own boys, to the Sunday School—that old place which I shall remember to my dying day. He was a plain man, and I can see him standing up and praying for the children. He had a great, warm heart, and the children all loved him. It was years after that I was converted, but my impressions were received when I was very young, from that man.”
