Smell
Jesus is our fragrant sacrifice.
Jesus is our fragrant sacrifice.
Noah offered a sacrifice to God after the flood to thank him for providing for his family. The sacrifice had a pleasing aroma...it smelled good to God. When Jesus died for our sins, God was soothed - it was made right - Jesus was a sacrifice that created a way for us to have a relationship with God.
Read the story of Noah in Genesis 6-8 and focus on Genesis 8:20-21, or in a Story Bible. (Gospel Story Bible pp 11-14 or Beginner's Gospel Story Bible pp 14-19)
Noah's sacrifice pleased God and reminded Him that He loved His creation. He wasn't angry over the sin anymore.
