ANOINTED TO GO THROUGH

Everything surrounding Jesus is founded on significance. Even though in the 12th chapter of John he is in the midst of revolving scenarios he remains the focus and attention. Jesus is as the table with Lazarus whom he has just raised from the dead (just practice before his own resurrection)..and in walks Mary Magdalene another one of his miracles. There is no mention that Lazarus offers thanks to Jesus for his miracle but it was clear what was on the mind of Mary. There was no gift to precious..to expensive for her Lord. How do you put a price tag on a life changing moment? As her demons had been poured out of her..Mary pours her gift..her precious ointment on the feet of her precious Savior! Even though the response from the disciples was mixed she presented her gift in the middle of them all. Of course the ointment could have been used for different purposes but that would not have been her purpose. Her gift was connected to her miracle. In the midst of all of these people and only Mary discerned that Jesus was beginning to carry the weight of his assignment much less the weight of his cross. Mary had been broken and discerned in her Lord the signs of someone about to go through! So she anointed him not just for his burial but for his resurrection. Just like Jesus was anointed to go through..so are you!
