Monday of Holy Week: “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” (John 12:3) So beautiful was this story, and also, how revealing this story was as we see Judas revealing his true colors when he was in such a tiff about Mary “wasting” this oil. The fact is Mary could have used a dime store brand of oil, but, Jesus explained, “She was preparing for my burial”, so, of course, he gave the best she had. Oh, that we would LOVE so audaciously — in such a way that expresses our deepest love for the ONE who gave us His all.<\/p>\n

I love this song so much by Cece Winans, “Mary’s Alabaster Box”, that is so befitting of the unconditional love that Jesus gave her as she poured out her love to Him.
