At this hour I would like to show you the tremendous spiritual significance of Mary's actions, which are so highly commended to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. It says in verse 3 that she took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, and she anointed the feet of Jesus and she wiped His feet with her hair. In doing this, a beautiful fragrance filled that whole house, in Bethany. The Fragrance of the Spikenard powerfully spoke to everyone there in most definite ways. It will speak to us as well, if we will consider it carefully. 1st of all – The Fragrance of the Spikenard showed forth Mary's thankfulness.
