Those close enough to Jesus in the garden, before the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod, on the way to Calvary, and when laying His body to rest, would very well have smelled the fragrant aroma of the oil poured upon His head by that thoughtful woman at Bethany. For some that aroma would provide a lasting memory of His loving sacrifice; for others it would trigger hatred or remorse. This same Jesus (our victorious General) leads us in triumph, and through us makes known what His “smell” was/is all about.
