GETTING THE STORY RIGHT
The text tells us that Jesus was in the house of Simon the Leper who resided in Bethany.
we should establish a couple of things from that start.
First this event requires very careful study because it would be easy to cross up what appears to be two similar incidents.
What do I mean?
Well, Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9; Luke 7:37-39, and John 12:1-8 all seem to relate to the same story.
However, look a little closer.
Luke’s gospel is the one that throws us into a quandary because it’s timing and main idea are not consistent with the other narratives.
John’s account parallels Luke in that it tells us that the Oil was poured on the feet of Jesus; but, it differs as to the location in which the event takes place.
And so, biblical scholars generally agree that these are two separate events.
Even in the accounts that seem to line up as the same event, there are nuances that cause us to ponder the sameness of the incident.
But, the real question that we want to ask is today is what is this text trying to teach us?
As I read the text, the main idea that jumps out at me is the words of Jesus concerning this woman in Matthew 26:13.
In the Spirit of National Women’s History Month on this glorious Palm Sunday, Let’s look at “WHAT SHE HAS DONE”.
SHE WENT TO WHERE JESUS WAS
SHE CAME TO GIVE
SHE WORSHIPED AGAINST OPPOSITION
THE DISCIPLE’S INDIGNATION
THE DISCIPLE’S AGITATION
SHE SECURED A PERMANENT PLACE IN HISTORY
BY MAKING HIM THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN HER LIFE
REMEMBER…ONLY WHAT YOU DO FOR CHRIST WILL LAST
