The Fragrance of Faith: A Deeper Dive into Ecclesiastes(Ecc. 7:1)
In this compelling episode of The Kingdom Corner, host Matt Geib unpacks Chapter 10 of his devotional book, Searching for Significance: A Devotional Journey through Ecclesiastes. Centered on Ecclesiastes 7:1, the discussion contrasts the fleeting fragrance of perfume with the enduring value of a good name.
Matt draws listeners into the poignant biblical account of Mary anointing Jesus with costly perfume, revealing profound insights into worship, sacrifice, and the legacy of character. While perfume fades, a good name—rooted in faithfulness, humility, truth, and love—leaves a lasting fragrance in the lives of others.
As the episode draws to a close, Matt points listeners to the ultimate example: Jesus, who not only bore a good name but was given the Name above all names (Philippians 2:9–11). His name carries eternal weight, unmatched authority, and divine significance. In Jesus, we find both the pattern and power to live lives that matter.
This episode challenges and encourages believers to pursue a life that isn’t just noticed but remembered—for the glory of the One whose name endures forever.
