[:en]Corpse flower is a tropical plant that flowers only once every several years. Its blooming is a spectacle because once opened, the huge spiky beautiful red bloom smells like rotten meat. Because of its putrid fragrance, the flower attracts flies and beetles that are looking for rotting meat. But there is no nectar.
Like corpse flower, sin holds out promises but in the end offers no rewards. Sin looks inviting but the rewards are pain, emptiness, toil and death. Let us trust and obey God so that we can share His life of comfort and joy.[:]
