Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her -Matthew 26:13.
The story in the Bible of the woman with the alabaster box is well known to many around the world. During passion week she enters a room while Jesus is visiting with one called Simon the leper and opens an alabaster flask with costly fragrant oil and poured it on His head as he sat at a table. The fragrance from this costly ointment fill the room to everyone's amazement. The aroma was so sweet and so strong that all the disciples could readily tell it's value and how many poor people the proceeds from the sale of such an ointment would have cared for.
Jesus had to remind them the value of the act rather than the value of the ointment and the fact that the poor will always be around but He, the one who cares for the poor the most in the world, would not always be in the flesh and present with them.
The very act of this woman changed the atmosphere that moment and so should we. Whenever we enter anywhere the moment we spring into action or even before we do, others present there should take note that we have been with Jesus or that we're Jesus followers.
Prayer: Lord we want to change the atmosphere wherever we go. May we acknowledge your presence at all times.
Encouragement: You're chosen to change the atmosphere. Go on your journey in the name of Jesus.
