MARY … POURED IT ON JESUS’ FEET / JOHN 12:3

(KJV) John 12:3

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Because the perfume was very expensive, Mary’s actions demonstrated great sacrifice, devotion and love. What she did was unusual in several ways. First of all, oil was usually poured on the head. In addition, a respectable woman usually would not let her hair down in public. Both of these actions showed humility; she did not care what anyone else but Jesus thought about her. Perhaps she sensed that her opportunity to express devotion to Jesus would soon be over, so she did all that she could. Jesus knew that she could have used her resources for other people or purposes; but knowing that His time on earth was short, He graciously received this act of devotion. This shows how special it is to Jesus when someone chooses to do something selfless just for Him (John 12:7-8). Mary’s faith and devotion to the Lord is the highest example of what God desires in His followers. For this reason, Jesus stated that her act of love would be told wherever His message is preached (Matthew 26:13).
