“And a woman in the town who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house. She brought an alabaster jar of perfume.”
Luke 7:37, ESV
“How delightful your caresses are, my sister, my bride. Your caresses are much better than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.”
Song of Solomon 4:10
We should know that our simple and sincere words bless Jesus.
We are truly significant in that way. Sometimes we have no idea the role we can play in His kingdom. What we’re doing when we offer up our true worship really does matter. The Kingdom comes when we really worship Him. Our sincere praise ushers in God’s rule in our hearts.
We touch Jesus, somehow, and in some way, we’ve blessed Him.
I believe that our sincere words encourage Him. He gladly receives this heartfelt offering of worship. He often responds and blesses those who sing their genuine praise to Him. Sometimes it’s hard to grasp that our worship really does matter to Jesus.
I have learned much from Him when I finally lay at His feet. I really want to pour out every bit of perfumed nard, and I sincerely desired to hold nothing back; to pour out the entire bottle.
We must make sure our worship stays extravagantly simple and centered on Jesus.

Bryan – excellent post! Appreciate your passion for loving Jesus, and celebrating the truth, the powerful truth, of the fragrance of Christ … and I’ve never taken time to connect the perfume in the alabastar jar … with the fragrance of Christ. I thought this was powerful: “Our worship needs to become extravagantly simple again.” Great blog, and I will be back to visit. Peace.
