Anointed


In John 12, Jesus is anointed by Mary, she's criticized by Judas, Jesus redirects the discussion back to the focus, which it is where it should be. Mary had a jar of perfume, Judas had a pouch of money and both were being poured out, yet for very different purposes. After the triumphal entry with it's palm tree branches, Jesus himself is being poured out at Golgotha. And with that sacrifice, the Son of Man draws all men to himself.
