Mark 14:3
Though not a popular or common scent today, spikenard is still expensive. I found one pound worth online for sale for over $500. Thus, this is a very valuable scent, and is not to be used carelessly. This was a very special gift and it carried with it great significance and love. This woman obviously understood that Jesus was more than deserving of such a sacrifice.
Heavenly Father, may we all offer our best to you, for you are worthy. We will never be able to make up for all that you have done for us. But, your goodness inspires us to do all we can for you. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
