Anointed: to consecrate or make sacred in a ceremony that includes the token applying of oil...⁠ “While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him wit h an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant⁠. And Jesus said,⁠ Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial" - Matt 26:10-12⁠ I love the quiet, heavy mood of this image. How the drips mimic oil, and how He carried on with kindness and love, knowing the darkness that was coming.⁠ Show more
