Matthew 26:7 A woman came to Jesus with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

Matthew 26:12 Jesus said, “when she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.” This verse captured my heart because Jesus is always so busy taking care of everyone else and the time was drawing near for him to be crucified. Not even his disciples, but here comes this woman, a sinner which we all are, and for this reason he came into the world. She didn’t speak but her words was within her actions. Jesus felt loved, the kind of love that he was pouring out, which made it worthy for him to go to cross willingly, I thought to myself.

“Prepare me for my bruial,” these words echoed in my mind. I thought unlike us, Jesus knew exactly when and how he was going to die. And what that woman did is how we should all treat the ones we love while they are yet still alive. Don’t wait till they’re gone to have any regrets on letting them know how we feel about them. I am pretty sure it was faith, when with bold courage she walked into someone else’s home and as a woman to touch a man that’s not your husband back in those days. This is just like the woman with the issue of blood who went through the crowd and confessed she was the one who touch Jesus when he felt virtue left his body, Luke 8:43-48
