It is my opinion that although the gospels of Matt., Mk., Lk., and John record some similar details regarding the alabaster jar, the critical reader will conclude that three separate anointing occur.

Breaking The Box

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Nov 20, 2025

It is a picture of the church as she lights the light, cleans the house, and searches diligently for what is ...read more
