A Woman Jesus Can Teach

With an alabaster flask in her hand, Mary of Bethany made her way across a crowded room to find Jesus. Then she gently poured fragrant oil on His head. As it seeped down into Jesus’s beard, Mary knelt and poured more oil on His feet, wiping the excess with her long, flowing hair.
Looking on in judgment of Mary’s actions, Judas was quick to criticize. But Jesus defended Mary, knowing that she had given her very best to express love and gratitude. She had chosen to follow and obey Jesus—the Master Teacher.
