Mark 14:1-11
She has done a beautiful thing to me. The woman broke the jar and pouted the perfume on Jesus head.
Some of those present were saying indignantly憤怒地 to one another.
Why are you bother her? The poor you will always has with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.
Jesus said wherever the gospel is preach throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.
Judas went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
Jesus' publish ministry is at an end. As the Passover festival approaches events move swiftly to a climax.
Against a dark backcloth of hatred and treachery shines the story of one woman's love for the Lord.
Why?
Sometime we will forget Jesus instead of our ambition or desire. So we will always has poor with us, poor people are always exist. We can help them any time we want. But Jesus will leave them soon.
This woman did a beautiful thing, not only a good thing. Judas did a duty thing.
It was common courtesy to pour a little perfume on arriving guests. Perfume was also used to anoint a body for burial. And the word 'Messiah' means the 'one anointed' for God's service. Perhaps intuitively sensing the tragedy ahead, Mary pours out the whole flask of precious perfumed oil in a lavish, extravagant gesture of affection感情.
How?
Jesus is the Messiah, the one anointed.
A beautiful thing to Jesus, do what I can.
