How do we know that Christ's commendation of Mary was true?

Jesus' commendation of Mary, who anointed His feet with costly ointment, is a uniquely recorded event in the Gospels. In Mark 14, He states that her act would be spoken of as a memorial wherever the gospel is preached. This declaration emphasizes not only the significance of her action but also Christ’s recognition of genuine acts of worship stemming from a heart that understands His worth. The fact that we continue to discuss Mary's act today, thousands of years later, attests to the truth of Christ's words. It serves as a reminder that true honor before God is rooted in acts motivated by love, faith, and recognition of the Savior’s grace.
