Alright, thank you very much. Hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? You doing alright? Oh, I’m fine, thank you. Happy in the Lord. [chuckle] Glad to be alive, glad to be with you. What a blessed combination that is. Early, early in the morning, to be in touch with God, and His Word, and my dear friends scattered across the country and around the world. I’m so grateful for the privilege of ministering God’s Word day by day. Thank you for being there.

We’re looking at Mark chapter 14, and we got to the story of Mary, who brought this container of perfume. It said, “Very precious,” so it was pretty expensive stuff. It said she poured it on His head, and another account said that some of it got on His feet, and she wiped His feet with her hair. An act of tender love and devotion, as well as supreme honor, for in those days, if you wanted to honor a guest, you poured some perfume on him. [chuckle] I don’t know if I’d like that myself. [chuckle] I don’t wear perfume very well. Who was it? One of the great preachers of days past. Ah, that doesn’t matter, but I remember the story about him. He would have been known back in the beginnings of this century, and on into the 20’s and 30’s, perhaps. McGinley, that’s the one I’m thinking about. He used to put a little cologne or something on, you know. But he wasn’t noted for any patience with people, or politeness with them. He was very brusque. And so, some lady was greeting him after the service one Sunday, they tell me. She said to him, “Is that perfume I smell?” He said, “It is, lady, and you do.” [laughter] Can’t you just… Oh, dear. Well, I say, I don’t know whether I would have held up under that kind of welcome or not, but in those days, it was an act of supreme honor, and in Mary’s case also, of adoration and devotion to the Lord Jesus.

He was the one who had raised her brother Lazarus from the dead, and to her dying day, I’m sure, she felt that surge of gratitude in her heart for all that He had done. “Mary,” it said, “Hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Mary was the one who sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His Word. She was the one, evidently, that brought this container of very expensive perfume, and just lavished it on the Lord Jesus Christ. John, I think, is the one who says the house, the whole house, was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. Let me look and make sure that I’m telling you the truth. Yes, that’s right. It says, “The house was filled with the odor of the ointment.”
