I focused on scriptures
During Easter
Since COVID decided to
Drop in for a bit
Thankfully I had my 2 shots
If I didn’t who knows
Anyway felling better
After isolating
But in that
Time
I discovered something I
Had never considered b4
It is the stories in Mathew Mark Luke and John
It may be one story or two
But it is about the
Anointing of Jesus

Matthew 26:6-13
Remember A woman with an Alabaster Box
With Very Precious Ointment
Poured on The head of Jesus
She did it for my burial
This act will be her memorial
How much was the Ointment worth?
Why were some disciples so irritated?

In Mark 14:3-9
Alabaster Box of ointment
Was worth 300 Pence
One pence was worth one days pay
Now 300 days of work is about the
Same as what a teacher makes since they
Have holidays fir a few months

In Mark it specifically says the
Ointment is Spikenard
So the yearly income
For a teacher today is between
$ 20,000 or more
Can u imagine having a hair conditioner
Put on your head worth $ 20,000
Now u can fathom why they were upset
Normally an Alabaster box was
Like a dowry and women
Would put it on the feet of
Someone they were betrothed to
But this woman gave this up
For Jesus
Her gift was amazing

Perhaps when she
Gave this gift possibly she
Would have nothing to give as a dowry
Leaving her unmarried and
Childless

In John 12:1-8
Martha served
Lazarus at the table
In Bethany
6 days b4 Passover
Mary anointed his feet
With 1 Lb of ointment
(Think possibly abt the size of a Lb of butter
But a lot more expensive
But this was something called
Spikenard
Anointed and wiped feet with hair
The odour filled the house
Worth again 300 pence
Could be same story or two different people

In Luke 7:36-
Here Jesus eats with a
Pharisee
Again an
Alabaster box of ointment
Washing feet with tears and
Wiping and anointing and crying
Here Jesus tells a story of 2 debtors
And goes into greater detail
On forgiveness
This may all be one story or two
But
Jesus was of great value to this or these women
Not caring about $ but about his comfort and doing
What they could for. Him regardless of what others thought

Well
I finally
Packed my Christmas tree
Away
And gave the live other one
To a friend
To take care of it
One never knows with global warming
These days
