Scripture: Mark 14:10-25
Is it really a good thing for this woman to spend a whole year’s wages on a single, momentary act of worship? And if so, why perfume? Wouldn’t there be some more practical gifts that could be given with that amount of money?
Mark 14:1 Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 "But not during the Feast," they said, "or the people may riot." 3 While he was ...read more
