Watchman Nee emphasizes the significance of Mary's act of anointing Jesus with costly ointment as a model for understanding the goal of the Gospel. He argues that true service to God often appears as 'waste' to the world and even to fellow believers, yet it is in this 'wasting' of ourselves that we find true satisfaction and bring pleasure to God. The Gospel's primary aim is not merely to benefit sinners but to satisfy the heart of God, and our lives should reflect this by pouring out our best for Him. Nee encourages believers to recognize the worth of Christ and to give their all, as Mary did, in devotion and service. Ultimately, he calls for a life that seeks to please God above all else, leading to a fragrant testimony of Christ to the world.
