Now when Jesus was [back] in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume and she poured it on Jesus’ head as He reclined at the table. Matthew 26:6–7 AMP
Jesus was in a house in Bethany when a woman came to Him with an alabaster flask containing very costly fragrant oil. She poured the oil on His head because she loved the Lord. She had set her love upon Him.
Two thousand years have passed since this woman anointed Jesus with the expensive oil. She never expected in her wildest dreams that her act of love would be told down through the ages. Many kings and rulers have come and gone. Their great acts have faded from the memories of men. But what this woman did for Jesus is still told today around the world as a memorial to her.
What you do for the Lord is forever compared to what you do for others. Find the time to always pour your oil on Him by taking time to worship and genuinely show your love for Him from the depth of your heart. Set your love upon Jesus, make Him the love of your life always and He will stand, protect, defend, deliver and set you on high always.
Further Scripture Study: Psalm 91:14
Declare This: Dear Lord, thank You for Your Love. I pour my love on You and set my affection in Your Word in Jesus name Amen.
