Live a life filled with love for
others, following the example of
Christ, who loved you and gave
himself as a sacrifice to take
away your sins. And God was
pleased, because that sacrifice
was like sweet perfume to him.
The Order of the Mustard Seed, founded by the Austrian noble Count Zinzendorf, has three guiding principles: 1. be kind to all people; 2. seek their welfare; and 3. win them to Christ. Count Zinzendorf began to love the Lord at age six, and lived day after day in fellowship and communion with Christ. He had given his entire life and possessions to the work of Jesus Christ. Zinzendorf's life fulfilled the standards set by Ephesians 5:2 of a pleasing life before God. In that, we can easily surmise that the Count's life deserves the comparison of a sweet perfume to God the Father. Set a goal for yourself to have your life be like a sweet perfume to the Lord.
