Song of Songs 1:12. While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
John 12:3. Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
Luke 7:46-47. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
Do we mourn so much for our sin that we would give our most valued possessions to honor Jesus Christ? Having been forgiven so much, do we not desire to live for Him, giving our all? The Shulamite gave her best for her beloved; so Mary did for Jesus, and so should we. This ointment filled the house when released, just as His Spirit will fill us out (not having more of Him but He having more of us) when we sacrifice our best for our Beloved.
