Thought of Wisdom 03-25-2013

A woman having an alabaster box of very precious perfume (oil of spikenard), broke the box and poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.  In pouring this perfume on His body she prepared Jesus for His burial ahead of time (spices were rubbed on the dead bodies).  Jesus said that wherever this good news of the Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in memory of her.
