JESUS ANOINTED AT BETHANY

 

Matthew 26:6-13

6 While Jesus was in Bethany

In the Home of a man known as Simon the Leper,

7 A WOMAN CAME TO HIM WITH AN ALABASTER JAR

OF VERY EXPENSIE PERFUME,

WHICH SHE POURED ON HIS HEAD

AS HE WAS RECLINING AT THE TABLE.

8 When the Disciples saw this,

They were Indignant.

'WHY THIS WASTE?' They asked.

9 THIS PERFUME COULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AT A HIGH PRICE

AND THE MONEY GIEVN TO THE POOR.'

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them,

'WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING THIS WOMAN?

SHE HAS DONE A BEAUTIFUL THING TO ME.

11 THE POOR YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE WITH YOU,

BUT YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS HAVE ME.

12 WHEN SHE POURED THIS PERFUME ON MY BODY,

SHE DID IT TO PREPARE ME FOR BURIAL.

13 I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

WHEREVER THIS GOSPEL IS PREACHED

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,

WHAT SHE HAS DONE WILL ALSO BE TOLD,

IN MEMORY OF HER.'

(Matthew 26:6-13)

This woman is a Type of the Bride of Christ.

She too will pour out her life for Christ Jesus.

It is a Beautiful thing.
