In Mathew 26:6-10 we read a very unusual story. A woman comes into somsone's home and pours very costly perfume on Jesus' head. What makes this story stand out is what Jesus said about the woman. "...wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."
Why a memorial to her, and not to him. Why is the focus on her?
What Jesus said has come true. We even have a song about pouring out the oil in the alabaster box. Her actions are a picture of our love returned on the head of Jesus for all he has done for us.
We give our all, because he has given his all for us.
