Mark (Program #35) – The Preparation of the Slave-Savior for His Redemptive Service (9)<\/p>\nMark (Program #35) – The Preparation of the Slave-Savior for His Redemptive Service (9)<\/p>\n
Just two days prior to His death the Lord Jesus gathered with His disciples in a small house in a tiny village of Bethany just outside of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
This little house, the house of a leper that Jesus had cleansed in the beginning of His ministry has become His dwelling place during His final days. Each night He would depart Jerusalem and return to this very humble and simple home. Now as the hours of His death approaches one of the great encounters in all the scriptures take place. Let’s read the account in Mark 14:1-8<\/p>\n
“Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to seize Him by craftiness and kill Him,\u00a0 For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be a tumult by the people.\u00a0 And while He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He reclined at table, a woman came, having an alabaster flask of ointment, of very costly pure nard, and she broke the alabaster flask and poured it over His head.\u00a0 But there were some who were indignantly commenting among themselves: Why has this waste of the ointment been made?\u00a0 For this ointment could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they were infuriated with her.\u00a0 But Jesus said, Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a noble deed on Me.\u00a0 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you do not always have Me.\u00a0 She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
