The Anointing at Bethany
3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly [b]oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized[c] her sharply.6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
THIS lady was doing what she could . we often look at other Church members and wonder what they are doing .. we wonder about the world , why the Church is floundering . but what are we doing. this anointing at Bethany was her act of worship and service to Christ ..but what are we doing are w doing our part . are we doing the things that needs to be ? BTW if you have to ask what our part is? i suggest you pray about it . i love the song by the cathedrals step into the water wade out a little bit deeper
