More Than Enough

I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman's deed will be remembered and discussed.  Mark 14:9

The awards given by actors to other actors seem overly exposed to me already, and so I do not watch the show each year. It would seem to have become a form of light combat in my absence. However, since by now you will have heard, read, and seen more than enough about that event, I'll point you toward another one heard around the world. Seemingly small interpersonal exchanges can be told and retold down through the ages, but this one was promised by the Lord Jesus to be known wherever the Good News went in this world. In Mark's telling of the event, the woman is not named, but that jar of perfume went a long way in the telling! We are approaching 2,000 years for this tale and as long as the Gospel of Jesus is told, we are going to rejoice with her in the anointing of our Lord Jesus for His burial. And as we are about to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we get to hear this story once more. The good deed of this woman is so much better to read than that other one from Monday night.

 

Rejoice with our sister in Christ!
