She poured pure nard

​

Then Mary took about a pint of

pure nard, an expensive perfume;

she poured it on Jesus' feet and

wiped his feet with her hair.

And the house was filled with

the fragrance of the perfume John 12:3

​

​

Mary, a young sister of the dead

whom Jesus raised to life poured

a pint of pure nard costing may be

30 thousands dollars on Jesus feet

for his burial and wiped his feet

with her hair.

What an extravagant behavior

in human point of view !

Then no one knew that

Jesus would be betrayed and

crucified as an expiation

for mankind.

But by Jesus death he is

a fragrance of God for men who

sinned against God and become

corruptive odor.

Mary who lived with her

sister Martha and brother Lazarus

without parents.

This sibling's love for and dedication

to Jesus fulfilled one of the

most significant redemptive symbols

in most dark week in human history.

​

Lent, meaning 40days which is 40days before

Jesus crucifixion.

During Lent, God's children tend to purify themselves

and serve the others. The end week of the Lent is

Palm Sunday when Jesus entering Jerusalem on

a little donkey and people shouting Hosanna meaning

save us.

Then in the Passion week, on Friday about 3 O'clock PM

Jesus was forsaken by Father God on the cross, and died

because of all the sin mankind committed.

The sin was so great in God's eyes that his Son Jesus

had to be executed the extreme penalty crucifixion.

But in 3 days, Jesus was resurrected.

Because he has no sin. He is God.

Therefore, his death has right to forgive any sins

for anyone who believes in Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus is an ultimate

victory over sin of which fruit is death.
