2 COR 2:15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

The painting ‘Aroma’ illustrates 2 Corinthians 2:15, depicting a heart from which fragrant flowers grow, symbolizing how believers should be a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The Lily and Rose of Sharon (Song of Solomon 2:1) represent Jesus’ purity, divinity, and life-giving beauty. The Anemone (Matthew 6:28-30) reflects God’s provision, while the Almond Blossom (Ecclesiastes 12:5, Numbers 17:8) signifies renewal and His blessings. Hyssop (Exodus 12:22, John 19:29) represents purification and spiritual cleansing. Saffron (Song of Solomon 4:14) symbolizes love and devotion. Spikenard (John 12:3) recalls Mary’s sacrificial worship, filling the house with fragrance. This reflects Mark 14:9, where Jesus declares her act will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. Just as her worship spread a fragrance, so should our lives exude the aroma of Christ, touching the world with His love (2 Corinthians 2:15).
