Worship

“Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment” (John 12:3).

Mary, who before had been at the feet of Jesus as a learner (Luke 10:39), and but recently had wept at His feet as a mourner (John 11:32), is now found at His feet as a worshipper. She comes quietly and humbly, with a heart overflowing, and anoints His feet with the very costly ointment and wipes those blessed feet with her hair.

Her act proclaims that in her estimation nothing that she possesses is good enough for Christ. She expends upon Him every drop of the costly ointment, and puts at His disposal that which is the glory of a womanher hair. He alone is worthy! She was not at that moment thinking of the poor or the blessing of others; she was wholly engrossed with Christ. This, indeed, is worship: but, even so, the one that is absorbed with Christ will bring blessing to others; so we read, “The house was filled with the odour of the ointment.”
