Our Lord smelt so so good, And this signified His glorious kingship to face death with a victorious persona.There was no use for the Marys to go to the tomb later to spice His body.This woman was led by the Spirit of God to do this rememberable deeds.This goes on to show that our repentance is essential so that God can use us in His Vineyard. This woman was regarded the very least in the Kingdom yet God used her losses for the gain of the whole world that Christ died for.Let it be noted that this very deed potrayed the ressurrection, for it were for death alone, she would not have poured it all out but applied it and kept the rest to sell.The reaction that she recieved from her fellowman shows how we are quick to speak and slow to listen and that brings about judgement, which we are not to partake in.This woman displayed love in its truest form, the love that Christ taught!
