"I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her"-Matthew 26:13 (NIV).

The gospel says she spent a year's wages on the perfume.  I imagine her excitedly running through the streets, peaking into houses...until she saw the crowd.  Did her heart quicken as she inched forward?  She was rebuffed, but not by Jesus.  He not only allowed her to approach Him, but to pour the fragrance over His head...filling the house with the aroma and her eyes with tears.  She didn't understand the purpose her actions served... but she served.  This is in memory of her....
