Smells tell stories. One smell tells you dinner is ready to come off the grill. Another smell tells you that roadkill is decaying badly on a hot summer day. It might even be the same kind of thing that died, but one smells like a meal and the other a public works problem.
So too with the death of Jesus. Paul is illuminating that the death of Jesus smells different ways to different people. A Disciple-Maker's vision needs to acknowledge this, and appreciate that to some, serving up Jesus smells like roadkill, while to others like you he’s a life-giving feast of nourishment. Try to understand alongside Jesus today, the disgust that some people have toward him. Different smells of the same Jesus.

About this Plan
A Disciple-Maker life takes Disciple-Maker Vision. My growth, my Jesus, my discipleship has its place center stage, but it's not the only thing on the stage. No theater runs with a cast of individuals buried in their own script, waiting for their own queues. It takes cast members that see everyone else's part, see the props and pieces to hold, see the overall plot and the scenes that build it, see the audience whom all this is for, and see the director from whom all things come. It's the same with Jesus in the great dramatic unfolding of his kingdom come and his gospel for all. You probably started with fixating on your part, which is normal and expected. The time comes when you see the rest. Every Disciple is to become a Disciple-Maker. These next forty days are for shifting your Vision to that of a Disciple-Maker. More than nuggets of wisdom, this devotional aims to set you up with an open-ended dialog with Jesus. Be ready to sit in scripture and prayer long enough for something new to be formed with him.
