This sermon explores the extravagant, unsettling act of Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with a goodly portion of expensive perfumed oil—a gesture of love that defied the logic of her world. In contrast to the practical and measured response of the world, Mary embodies the dangerous oddness of the Gospel. We are invited to join her in disrupting systems of control and scarcity with acts of imagination, grace, and abundance.
