As we delve into Matthew 26, we witness the profound contrast between human scheming and divine love. While religious leaders plot Jesus' demise, we see a beautiful act of devotion unfold in Bethany. Mary's sacrificial anointing of Jesus with expensive perfume teaches us the true nature of worship - giving our best to God without reservation. This story challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we fully devoted to Christ, or do we hold back? Just as the perfume's aroma likely lingered with Jesus through His suffering, our acts of worship can sustain us in difficult times. Let's consider how we can pour out our lives as a fragrant offering to God, trusting that He values our devotion even when others may not understand.#SundaySermon #Worship #JesusFirst#Jesus#Crucifixion#Passover#Worship#Devotion#Forgiveness#Anointing#Sacrifice#Mary#Disciples#Betrayal#Judas#HolySpirit#Communion#Repentance#GospelOfMatthew#Alabaster#Perfume#Spikenard#Love

Send us a textJohn 12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. We are looking at a passage today that is very familiar to us, but as always we need to make sure we don't think that we know it all, none of us do.  Jesus is down to the last week of His life and He is having supper with Lazarus and the sisters Mary and Martha.  Martha is serving as usual and Lazarus is being honored by being at the table after having been raised from the dead.  The keystone of this passage is Mary takes a very costly perfume, breaks the bottle and pours it all out on Jesus and wipes His feet with her hair.  First of all, she gave her best and greatest gift when she poured out her costly perfume, probably worth $20,000 - $25,000 at our rate of exchange today.  Also, this was her whole wealth and all her savings she had in this world.  Then, she also used her hair which speaks of a woman's glory.  She humbled herself and anointed Jesus for His burial with her perfume and her hair.  How about you, are you giving Jesus your best and your all?     Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?             John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins.

In this episode of Essential Aromatica, Amy converses with Dr. Kelly Ablard from the Airmid Institute about the complex interplay between ecology, the crucial role medicinal and aromatic plants play in sustaining eco-cultural-systems and what the essential oil community can do to support global and local ecologies and the Earth overall. Episode Highlights: The Unique Relationship Between Biology, Aromatherapy, and Chemical Ecology. Explore how the chemicals that facilitate interactions among species are found in essential oils. (Pheromones, Allomones!) The Importance of Ethnobotany via Philology and Biology. Sustaining cultural ecology by preserving indigenous wisdom through recording the oral records of medicinal and aromatic plants. This relates to Plants Shaping Our Lives by Creating Our Environment. From the oxygen we breathe to the food we eat and the clothes we wear, this deep connection to plants underscores their fundamental role in our culture and daily lives. If we don't Preserve Plant Life and Support Ecosystems, More of our Earth will Experience Rosewood's Dire Situation seen in Peru. Its pivotal role in maintaining ecological balance was the reason Dr. Ablard started the Airmid Institute. To understand the ripple effect on an ecosystem of losing key species such as Rosewood proves the necessity to preserve these plants to ensure ecosystem health (inclusive of humans, plants, animals and insects.) Something similar may be happening in Southern California with White Sage, which is over-harvested and illegally harvested to supply a widespread appetite for smudge sticks and other White Sage applications. How Can We Help? Find Analogs. We don't have to work with Sandalwood from India, White Sage from California or even Tea Tree from Australia. Find analogs that you can grow in your backyard, community garden or source locally. Some examples we talk about are Rosemary, Eastern Red Cedar and Yarrow. Think Locally While Supporting Sustainable Global Trade when buying aromatic plants, herbs and essential oils. (Yes, think local and global!) Appreciate the value of sourcing medicinal plants locally and supporting indigenous programs across the world that use ancestral cultivation techniques. Balance local plant use with sustainable global trade to support communities tied to these aromatic plants. Be mindful of Conservation Status and International Trade: The IUCN Red List and CITES activity help protect endangered plant species. As a consumer, understanding the importance of asking about CITES permits and sustainable sourcing when purchasing essential oil is critical. Understand Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research Impact on Plant Ecology and Survival. Pharmaceutical and clinical research contributes to the extinction of some plant species such as Sandalwood and Spikenard; the importance of quality control, safety, and conservation statuses should be noted and accounted for. Foster a Child's Understanding of Ecology by nurturing a love for plants and a sense of place. Support education programs in schools, encourage learning from elders, and involve them in gardening, community gardens, and nature-based activities like hiking. Through the book, “No Place for Plants,” Dr. Kelly Ablard and Frauke Galia highlight the impact of urban development on ecosystems and cultures. The narrative focuses on the vital role of community gardens in urban areas and emphasizes the need for children to connect with nature and advocate for green spaces. Mandatory Curriculum on Ecology and Sustainability for Aromatherapists, which is underway thanks to the Airmid Institute partnering with aromatherapy organizations such as IFPA, CAOA, AIA, NAHA.

This is the third and final look at the two accounts of the broken alabaster box events in the gospel accounts. This time we return to Bethany and explore the disciples responses to this, as well as Jesus' own insight about the event an how it pertains to his redemptive work

This is the second instalment in our study of the Alabaster Box events (I made the case for two events last time). This episode considers the event which stands alone in Luke's gospel.

There are four accounts across the gospels about a woman anointing Jesus with perfume. There is some debate about them all telling of the same event, or if there were in fact two instances. I'll show my own hand on that conclusion in this episode. Then, we'll take around three episodes to explore all four accounts. There's so much to take in across them all!

Mary, sister of Lazarus, gives us a wonderful example of someone who loves Jesus with all her heart. She sat Jesus feet to hear His words (Luke 10:38-42), and she anointed Jesus with costly perfumed oil shortly before His death to express her pure devotion to Him (Matthew 26:6-16, Mark 14:1-10, John 12:1-7). In John's account, Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment. Matthew and Mark tell us that Mary also poured this very costly ointment on Jesus' head. The costly ointment represents the great value that she put upon Jesus (it was worth 300 denarii - about 1 year's wages, Mark 14:5). His disciples thought it was a waste pouring all this expensive oil over His head and feet, for they did not value Him as highly as Mary did. She had seen Jesus raise her beloved brother Lazarus from the dead (John 11:44), and her heart was overflowing with gratitude, love and worship. The outpouring of the oil upon Jesus was symbolic of the outpouring of her spirit to Him. The disciples were looking at the outside, but Jesus was looking at her heart (1Samuel 16:7). He saw her PURE and devoted LOVE for Him. Mary demonstrated how much she valued Jesus by pouring out all this precious oil upon Him. If we put the Gospel accounts together, she anointed His head and feet, which is why He said: “she has poured this perfume upon My BODY to prepare Me for BURIAL” (Matthew 26:12). What a contrast between the murmuring disciples and Mary's extravagant outpouring of love and deep gratitude to Jesus! It is good for us to be passionate (generous) towards our Lord Jesus. She poured the whole of the contents of the vial (not just a drop) over Jesus (Mark 14:3). Despite all the criticism and opposition, she would not allow them to stop her pouring out her heart in this wonderful, extravagant action. She refused to be intimidated by them, but was determined to pour out her whole soul before the Lord and to give Him all of her love. In His death, Jesus was about to POUR OUT His life and His blood for their sakes, and they were criticising her about the waste of this perfume POURED OUT on Him! He explained the significance of what she had done: “She has poured this ointment on My body for my BURIAL” (Matthew 26:12). It was appropriate that He received this selfless act of worship in view of the fact He was about to give up His body for death and burial, for our sake. Someone with a deep love and devotion to the Lord (like Mary) will know and perceive spiritual things that others who have less love for Him would miss. God showed her that it was needful for her to perform this act, for when He died the women wanted to anoint His body, but they could not because the Sabbath was about to start, and they had to wait until it was over. Then when they came to the tomb, Jesus had already risen from the dead, so it was important Mary anointed Him for burial in advance. We see from Jesus' response to Mary's act that He highly esteems and values PURE LOVE that is poured out upon Him. Her heart was so full of love and gratitude to Jesus that nothing was too much of a SACRIFICE. She wanted to show Jesus her deep, heartfelt, passionate LOVE by a GIFT and a DEED, and not just by WORDS.

Welcome listeners to the debut episode of Season 2 of Dawn of an Era of Well-Being: The Podcast.On September 8 of 2022, Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, passed away peacefully at her residence of Balmoral Castle, thus concluding the longest reign of any British Monarch, and one of the most elongated terms of any leader known to history. The funeral was a tremendous spectacle as British subjects poured to the streets while an estimated 4.1 billion people around the world tuned in to the televised ceremony, an astounding number by any stretch pf the imagination. The French President Emmanuel Macron summed it up in his statement to the people of Britain, “To you, she was your Queen. To us, she was The Queen.” Queen to the World, the death of Queen Elizabeth was very much a global event.In today's episode of Dawn of an Era of Well-Being our special guests, Anne Baring and Jude Currivan, share their reflections on Elizabeth's legacy in a candid and at times quite emotional discussion. We understand of course that the history of the British Empire is deeply problematic in many respects, but our focus here is on the single figure of Elizabeth and her contribution to a tradition that has found significance at a time when the Empire's twilight has already passed. We will primarily discuss Elizabeth as the embodiment of an archetype, a highly performative role that she used to unify and inspire people across the world with a sense of duty and service to a higher purpose. It was a performance that lasted over seventy years and witnessed the arrivals and departures of fifteen Prime Ministers, and it is not one that will be repeated any time soon, if ever.

Our body is always giving us signals, like the warning lights of the dash on a car.  Our spirit holds our original blueprint of health and harmony. But the flow of the communication from the spirit gets blocked when thoughts and emotions aren't expressed and handled appropriately. Where are the signals? What are the red flags? How do we know we're off course or out of alignment?This last episode in our series on body energy centers gives the basic breakdown of the crown center, which is the very tip top of the head. The crown is the energy center within our bodies that is related to the awareness of our connection to the God. Located at the top of the head, the crown chakra is associated with the pituitary gland within the brain. Being connected in this center helps us to understand that we are a soul experiencing life through a body, but we are not just a body. Life is more than the tangible matter that we touch and see. It's where we connect to inner wisdom, feel connected to others and life, and feel a sense of serenity and wholeness despite what's happening around us.Living in stressful environments and fast paced lives, as well as unresolved trauma, disconnect us from the reality that exists beyond ourselves. The core issue is that we're conditioned to believe that we aren't already perfectly connected to God and His truth and perspective, as if He is withholding things from us until we "get it right". Life can tend to reinforce this belief if it's the lens we are looking through.Using essential oils daily is a great way to relax our minds and bodies and remind us of our connection to our compassionate Creator. There isn't a day that goes by we don't need connection to truth and God's presence. Our minds need that extra help so that we're not just recycling our own thoughts and trying to squeeze wisdom out of it.Some essential oils you may use to connect to this awareness are Frankincense, Spikenard, Rose, Cedarwood, and Lavender. Apply to the top of the head, or try these uses.Suggested daily uses:Cedarwood and lavender- before bed, sweet dreamsFrankincense in face moisturizer (great for skin and brain)When you've been busy and start to feel frantic and disconnected, push pause by diffusing this blend: 2 Vetiver and 3 spikenard (be ready to sloooooow down)When you're coming up against major resistance to living in agreement with revelations of truth (feeling protected, guided, supported, loved, valued, abundant, powerful… or find yourself laser focused some pain or hurt, try this blend in a roller bottle over your heart.3 drops frankincense, 1 drop helichrysum, 1 drop rose- this blend is for DEEEEEEP healing work, and resting in feelings of safety, and trustFree Guides-valpetty.comrootedinlove.co

The gospel of John is a theologically profound Gospel account. John repeatedly shows that Jesus Christ is God and that he fulfills the hopes, promises and longings of the Old Testament. Our summer sermon series will focus on the signs of Jesus while also looking to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Jewish festivals as seen in John. Join us on Sundays as Pastor Matt leads us through our series, "Jesus is God.” This week we are in John 12:1-8.

Spikenard, Silver, and Shed Blood - Pastor Ed Rea - Sunday, March 7, 2021

Spikenard, Silver, and Shed Blood - Pastor Ed Rea - Sunday, March 7, 2021

3/15/2020 Greatest worship service the earth had ever seen! NO words.  No long-winded prayers.  No music even! No flag-wavers, no drums, no fog machines, One woman who knew who He really was in a room full of men who offered nothing but scorn.

8/7/20 What an amazing text!  These few verses are a perfect example of how scripture points to Jesus Christ and His attributes.  One of my favorite studies I've ever done!

How amazing is it that God uses the timing and prophetic evidence in the scriptures to create many opportunities to point us to the Gospel of Jesus Christ?! He uses plants and oils to not only heal us physically but also to help us emotionally.    In this episode, Heidi finishes out the Oils of the Bible series and explains the benefits and uses of Myrrh, Lavender, and Spikenard oils. She goes into the deeper meaning of these three oils as they were particularly used relating to Jesus in the New Testament.   Listen in to learn about laws that protect the existence of plants, like Spikenard, to ensure their sustainability in the long run.    “If we first take care of the people and plants that so generously provide this healing oil for us, they will be able to take care of us and keep producing for generations.” ~Heidi Bramm   Top Takeaways: Understanding the value of Myrrh oil and why the wise men brought it to baby Jesus and his mother, as mentioned in the bible.  The significance of Mary anointing Jesus's feet with Lavender oil six days before he was crucified.  The many opportunities God uses to point people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The unique chemistry of Spikenard oil makes it a broad-use oil.    What you will learn: [2:20] Myrrh – How Myrrh oil is extracted and where it is mentioned in the Bible. [4:50] The story of the mother of Jesus, Mary - and reasons why the wise men might have brought Myrrh with them to see baby Jesus. [8:14] The many uses of Myrrh from physical to emotional healing. [11:50] Lavender – where it was mentioned in the New Testament and the significance of Mary using it to anoint Jesus' feet before his crucifixion.  [15:58] Spikenard – where it is grown and harvested, it's traditional and modern uses and laws that protect it from being endangered.  [21:08] Modern uses for Lavender [22:35] Why not all essential oils are considered biblical, medicinal, or pure and unadulterated.

If you are a healer or are at all interested in healing, you MUST listen to this episode! I am SO thrilled to share this interview with the author of Sacred Oils, Felicity Warner. I felt like I was talking to a friend I’ve known for years, even though this was our very first conversation! Felicity is both extremely kind, and extremely knowledgeable about the field of deep soul healing.   Let me tell you a bit about her: Felicity Warner is a Myrrhophore, or mistress of the oils, one of a handful of healers in the world rooted in an ancient healing tradition with its roots in ancient Egyptian celestial medicine. The Sacred oils that she works with re-align, rebalance, and work at the deep level of Soul and Spirit.   In this episode, we explore the miraculous power of sacred oils and discover the ancient history of this healing modality. We also explore Mary Magdalene’s role as a myrrhophore in helping Christ to make his transition.   Felicity also shares a simple way to get to “know” and commune with these oils for your own healing and guidance. I truly hope you enjoy this episode and I would LOVE to hear about your own experiences with sacred oils.     Key learnings:   1) All essential oils are sacred, but the intention with which you work with oil is also what makes it sacred. The twenty or so oils that Felicity works with are known for their energetic signature, more so than their aromatic qualities.   2) Spikenard used to be the oil to use to help people make their transition, but we have evolved since then and now a good oil is Elemi. Felicity says she would still use spikenard for an individual who is connected to the priest archetype.   3) A wonderful first oil to work with is Myrtle. Felicity recommends getting the best quality oil you can, organic or wild-harvested, and begin to meditate with it. Do this for a month and write down your discoveries.   For more information about Felicity Warner’s work, click here Click here to learn about her Sacred Oils course and the live training on Oct 3, 2020 To purchase the book Sacred Oils, click here If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

And for our last podcast of season 2, a (very) oldie but goodie!

Join us as we explore God's ancient wisdom and apply it to our modern lives. His word is as current and relevant today as it was when he inspired its authors more than two and a half millennia ago. The websites where you can reach us are alittlewalkwithgod.com, richardagee.com, or saf.church. I hope you will join us every week and be sure to let us know how you enjoy the podcast and let others know about it, too. Thanks for listening. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee. As I got to know my wife when we were first dating a hundred years ago. (It's not really been that long, but after 42 ½ years of marriage, it's hard to remember life without her.) I digress. When we were dating, I learned her favorite perfume was Chanel No. 5. For a college kid, it was horribly expensive. But you know what present I would get her from time to time? If you didn't guess it right the first time, you haven't been hopelessly in love. I saved up enough to buy her Chanel No. 5 every time the bottle was getting low. One thing I really love about Chanel No. 5, and I think the reason she likes it so well, is that it has such a light scent. It's fragrance doesn't overwhelm you when someone walks into the room wearing it. You recognize its presence, but barely until you are close to the person who has used just enough of the elixir to make it known there is something different about their scent. Great stuff. A lot of other perfumes, colognes, toilet waters I just can't handle. Someone will walk into a building and it suddenly smells like a 5,000 gallon fuel tanker filled with the stuff just dumped their load in the room. You probably know what I'm talking about. That odor, whether pleasant or not, just overpowers everything until it just destroys your sense of smell and no matter what the smell, you detest it. My eyes begin to water, my throat begins to close, I begin to sneeze uncontrollably. All my doctors tell me I'm not allergic to anything, but what that overwhelming scent gets into a room, my body just goes beserk. Today's passage reminds me of those overpowering fragrances since John describes the odor as permeating the whole house. Here is what he says in John 12 verses 1 through 11: “Six days before the Passover feast, Jesus journeyed to the village of Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had recently been raised from the dead, where they hosted Him for dinner. Martha was busy serving as the hostess, Lazarus reclined at the table with Him, and Mary took a pound of fine ointment, pure nard (which is both rare and expensive), and anointed Jesus' feet with it; and then she wiped them with her hair. As the pleasant fragrance of this extravagant ointment filled the entire house, Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples (who was plotting to betray Jesus), began to speak. Judas Iscariot: How could she pour out this vast amount of fine oil? Why didn't she sell it? It is worth nearly a year's wages; the money could have been given to the poor. This had nothing to do with Judas's desire to help the poor. The truth is he served as the treasurer, and he helped himself to the money from the common pot at every opportunity. Jesus: Leave her alone. She has observed this custom in anticipation of the day of My burial. The poor are ever present, but I will be leaving. Word spread of Jesus' presence, and a large crowd was gathering to see Jesus and the formerly deceased Lazarus, whom He had brought back from the dead. The chief priests were secretly plotting Lazarus's murder since, because of him, many Jews were leaving their teachings and believing in Jesus.” This nard got my curiosity up. I didn't think I'd ever smelled nard, sometimes called spikenard, so I started looking up some descriptions of the fragrance. I found that it was indeed a very expensive oil in Jesus' day, and not so inexpensive today because of where the plant grows from which it is derived. In my search, I found the plant grows in the Himalayas of Nepal, China, and India. So just getting the plant to Israel in Biblical times would be quite the journey. And those lengthy caravans were costly. We know how to build greenhouses in such a way that we can grow almost anything anywhere, now, because we can simulate the environment of almost anyplace on earth, but they couldn't then, and even today, to simulate the environs of the Himalayas would be costly. But what about the smell? In all my searches, I found only one person that said nard smelled a little like lavender. That one author must have a terrible sense of smell because every other author I read said the smell is best described as “nard smells like … feet. A few said “stinky cheese.” But the majority of the vote if you do this in a democratic way, nard smells musty, earthy, leathery, … like feet. Think about the smell of middle school boys' rooms. Feet! Yuk! So why use nard? Well, it was thought to have some medicinal uses. It calmed anxiety. I'm told some people actually like the musty, leathery parts of the smell. Feet! One of the comments I read said fish stink, too, but that doesn't make the river any less beautiful. I guess I understand the comment. We put up with my son's middle school stinky feet smell because he was our son. We didn't care much for the stinky feet smell, but we weren't going to throw him out the door because of it. We just held our nose and gagged a little when ever we tried to decontaminate his room every few hours. (Sorry to use you as an illustration, Matt, you were handy, but I could have used any boy your age.) So why bring all this up about nard? First, just because of the curiosity. But more important, because of the reaction of two characters in the story. Mary poured out the perfume as an act of worship for Jesus. (Whether people liked the smell or not, it was present and if it had a calming effect all the better.) She acted extravagantly in the presence of the one who deserves our extravagance. She didn't think about the cost, only the act of giving her most prized possession. The other character in our story, Judas, saw only waste. He didn't see the act of worship. He only saw a year's wages dumped on the leader of their little band's feet. The stinky feet smell filled the room and instead of calming Judas, the oil had the opposite effect. The waste enraged him and he stormed out of the house. Everyone in the house should have been celebrating. Here sitting in the room with them was a living, breathing, eating, talking brother who just a few days earlier classified as a no kidding corpse. Dead. Gone. Finished. Then we see this third group of characters that are really hard to explain. Jesus just raised Lazarus from the dead. He stood outside the tomb from which he had the stone pushed back and called out his name. Then here comes this man wrapped in a burial shroud smelling like nard and myrrh and frankincense. Everyone there just stands with their mouths open like fish until Jesus tells them to get the burial shroud off of him and feed him. He hasn't eaten in four days! He'll be hungry! So if this guy, Jesus, can raise the dead and talk about scripture like he was there when it was written, why not listen to him? If Jesus can make two fish and five little rolls feed 5,000 men and their families, why would the religious leaders want to turn people away from him? If Jesus can change the lives of the individuals he touches and give them the internal peace they seek by telling them their sins are forgiven, why would the priests be wanting to break their own commandments and kill him? It just doesn't make much sense, does it? But you know what? We are often guilty of doing the same thing today. We act like Jesus is not the God we say he is. We act like he doesn't matter. We act like the Bible and his teachings are not true. We act like there will be no judgment day or not final reckoning for the lives we live. We act like we are the center of the universe and the most important thing around. We act like those Pharisees and Sadducees. We act like we are ready to kill him because he makes life uncomfortable for us and wants to change our ways. So here we are just a few days from celebrating Easter, for many, just another day on the calendar. For many, just a day which they can lift up as a way of making more sales for candy and clothes and special gifts for those that just want to pretend they are followers of Christ. It is still the season of Lent. In the early church, a time of preparation for those who chose to signify their entrance into the church by means of baptism on Easter Sunday. A time of study, self-reflection, ensuring they really know Jesus, they know his saving grace, and they know the cost of their commitment to him. Lent, a time of preparation. We can do the same if we choose. We can prepare for Easter. We can do that self-examination and know we true followers of Jesus. We can know his awesome grace in our lives. We can commit to him knowing the cost may be everything we are and everything we have. Our riches, our families, our very lives. We can follow him if we choose. Most will not because in this world, the cost is high. But how about you. I can tell you it is worth it when you walk the narrow path with him. You can find me at richardagee.com. I also invite you to join us at San Antonio First Church of the Nazarene on West Avenue in San Antonio to hear more Bible based teaching. You can find out more about my church at SAF.church. Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed it, tell a friend. If you didn't, send me an email and let me know how better to reach out to those around you. Until next week, may God richly bless you as you venture into His story each day.

Women of Grace 3-26-2016 Will you anointed the feet of your King with song's of praise and thanks. Mary was our example of her love for the one that set her free. "Perfume" in the original text is "nard" or "spikenard." Spikenard brought fourth a sweet aroma when opened. It was very costly.

The opening of Mark chapter 14 begins with a huge contrast: the religious elite who are both ceremonially preparing to "worship" on the Passover, but inside are plotting the sin of murder compared with a woman, unnamed here in Mark, humbly coming and pouring out a significantly costly offering onto Jesus as an act of sacrificial worship. What is our worship costing us? What opportunities are we finding to either plot sin or humbly worship and do good to others?

John 12:1-11Support the show (http://www.faithmethodistchurch.org/give)

As the news of the raising of Lazarus from the dead spreads, many are coming to faith in Jesus--the religious leaders in Jerusalem are very concerned as people turning to Jesus will raise the eyebrows of the Romans and potentially cause them to lose their "position" and power! Unknown to himself, Caiphas ends up prophesying that Jesus's death will be "one man dying for the people", true not to his own purpose, but to God's purpose to bring salvation through that "one man's" death. In chapter 12 the scene switches to Bethany and the springtime, and Mary, with only a week before Passover anoints Jesus' body for burial (unbeknownst to her) with very costly oil--a true sign of her worship and adoration of Him.

Matthew 26 records the story of Mary, the woman who anoints Jesus with precious oil. As we study this story we are reminded that very little of what is accomplished in human terms is remembered as a legacy for very long, but what Mary did for Jesus has been told around the world for over 2000 years! What really matters?
