The sweet fragrance of His life
It’s what God saw in Christ—the sweetness that came out under pressure. Now sometimes today sweetness doesn’t come out of us under pressure. But the more tension upon Him the sweeter He was, and the Lord Jesus made this statement, “And He that sent me,” He says, “is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone, for I do always those things that please Him.” And, therefore, believers have the high privilege of sharing Christ, you see, with God the Father. It’s what God sees in Christ. But what do you see in Him? Is there sweetness about Him? Have you smelled the sweetness and the fragrance of His life?

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGeewas born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
