Some Christians probably grapple with the fact that while Jesus lives in their hearts, they can't see him or touch him. But thanks to a South Dakota couple, now they can smell him. Bob and Karen Tosterud say they have captured the special aroma of Christ in their $18 His Essence candles. Simply light the candle, they say, and breathe in Jesus' scent. "It's a very meaningful experience," says Bob Tosterud. The candle is scented with myrrh, aloe and cassia because Psalm 45 says that when Christ returns, his garments will carry the fragrance of those plants, explains Karen Tosterud. "We wanted people to be able to experience Christ in new ways and to have that ... candle as a reminder that he is with us all the time," she said.
