“She brake the box, and poured it on His head” (Mark 14:3).
For the seventh visit, let us turn to Matthew 26 and Mark 14:1-9. In Matthew 26:2 it says,
after two days was the Passover, and the ointment was poured on His head. In John 12:1 we
read that six days before Passover He came to Bethany. In Matthew 26:2, our Lord said again
to His disciples that the time had come for Him to suffer, to be reviled, to be killed and to rise
again. Even though He said this a number of times, yet His disciples could not understand or
believe what He was saying.
In contrast the women believed what He said. While all those disciples could not understand
what our Lord was saying so clearly, Mary understood! (Matt. 26:2,12). She just came to
prepare Him for His burial (John 12:7). Somehow her eyes had been opened, and she began
to understand that He was giving His life willingly for the whole world (John 10:11,14,17,18).
The woman must have spent all that she had to buy that box of ointment. Then she brought
it to the Lord Jesus and broke the box and poured the ointment upon Him (Mark 14:3). She
wanted every single drop to be poured upon Him, so we read in Mark 14 that she “brake the
box”. Nothing could now remain. She poured it all upon His head that His whole body might
be anointed.

“Lord! What will thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).
Many children go to their father only when they want sweets and other things, but they never
say: “Father, can I do anything to help you? You are looking so tired and sad. Can I do
anything lessen your burden?”. There are very few of that type. Yet there are some children
who look at their father’s or mother’s face and say: “You take rest. I will do all the work.”
That is the right attitude!
Do you say, “Now Lord, tell me in which way I can please Thee and satisfy Thee and give
Thee comfort and rest?”. He will answer those who ask. He will tell us what He requires, as
He did to those at Bethany who ministered to Him satisfaction, comfort, rest and peace. If we
want to grow spiritually, our daily attitude should be: “Lord, I am not concerned about my
own problems or needs of any kind. Please tell me: Do you want me to go anywhere, or to
meet anybody, or help anybody? Is there anything I can do for you which will be in accordance
with Your perfect will, which will give you more joy and happiness and peace?” Then He will
tell you where to go and what to do. It is a wonderful thing to obey God, and the way He
helps us to obey His will is also wonderful. Then it happens automatically and unasked that
the Lord helps us and supplies our every need.
