In this Memorial Day message, we reflect on how scents can stir powerful memories—and how the Bible uses aroma as a spiritual metaphor. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2, we learn that Christ leads believers in a triumphal procession, like a Roman victory parade, where we are the "pleasing aroma" of Christ to the world. As followers of Christ, we are called to walk in joyful surrender, spreading the fragrance of His love, mercy, and truth wherever we go.

In John 12:1–8, Mary pours expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet in a bold and costly act of worship, showing that true love for Jesus often looks extravagant or even foolish to the world. This story challenges us to consider whether our lives reflect sacrificial devotion or merely surface-level faith. While Judas criticizes Mary, revealing how easy it is to fake love for Jesus, she models wholehearted surrender. True worship may seem wasteful, but it’s the only fitting response to the worth of King Jesus.
