Let's all ponder how valuable Jesus truly is. How do we view the suffering and sacrifice of our Lord ... for us ... because of our sin. This passage in Matthew's gospel shows us the beginning of Jesus' final days. There are two differing ideas about Jesus here. Some valued Jesus as nothing more than a political nuisance. Even his disciples were 'indignant' over an extravagant act of worship. But Mary saw the genuine sacrifice and suffering that Jesus was facing and she anointed HIM from head to toe.
