READ: Mark 14:3-8
«And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.» - Mark 14:6
The story in today's Scripture text has several noteworthy points:
- A great expense was bestowed on Jesus Christ. And yet, He received and accepted this great and expensive thing that was done. He did not rebuke or curse the woman for doing something wrong.
- Some people considered the great expense to be a great waste. Jesus thought it was a good thing that the woman had done. In fact Jesus asked people to leave her alone and not to trouble her for what she had done.
- Jesus accepted the honour that was done Him and made many eternal comments about the woman. Today, there are several pastors who reject the honour and riches bestowed on them because of the anointing. What you must realise is that people are honouring the great power of God that flows through you.
- Jesus said, «She has wrought a good work.» Jesus said this woman was doing the right thing. Jesus said this woman had done a good thing and a good work had been accomplished. If Jesus thinks it is a good thing then it must be a good thing.
- Jesus Christ prophesied that this woman would always be remembered. Jesus memorialised the woman who honoured the anointing on His life. He said that she would be remembered everywhere the gospel was preached. Today, the words of Jesus are being fulfilled. She is being remembered, she is being used as a good example, and we are reading about her.
