ot and dusty, Bob dismounted from the bus he had ridden to a city far from home. He was tired from a long day of travel and grateful that he would be able to have dinner with friends of friends who lived in DAILY the area. They welcomed him in, and he immediately felt a sense of peace. He felt at home, comfort- able, safe, and valued. HLater, wondering why he had felt such peace in an unfamiliar place, Bob found an answer in 2 Corinthians. The apostle Paul describes people who follow God as having the “pleasing aroma of Christ.” “That’s exactly it!” PATH Bob said to himself. His hosts had “smelled like” Christ. When Paul says that God leads His people in Christ’s “triumphal procession” spreading the fragrance of His truth, he’s referring to a practice in the ancient world. Victorious armies would burn incense as they They Smelled Like Christ marched through the streets. For their supporters, the smell brought joy. In the same way, Paul says the people of God carry a pleasing fragrance to those who believe. It isn’t something we create on our own but something BIBLE READ: 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14–17 God gives as He leads us in spreading the knowledge of Him.

Narendra Modi Prime Minister

Mumbai, Sep. 8 (IANS): After being axed from the Indian squad for the last two Tests against England, opener Murali Vijay has signed up with Essex County Cricket Club to represent them in the remainder of the 2018 County Championship. The BCCI announced the development on Saturday which was also confirmed by the Essex club's official website. Vijay, who featured in the first two Tests of the five- match India-England Test series, will be returning to the county ground where he scored 53 in the first innings of India's practice game against Essex. "I was here with the India side about a month ago and saw first-hand just how good the crowd is. I can't wait to play for Essex and hopefully win some matches," Vijay said in a statement. Expressing pleasure on the joining of the In- dian opener, Essex head coach Anthony McGrath said: "We're delighted that Vijay has chosen to come here. He's a great batsman who can score runs at the top of the order."
