One woman’s simple devotion becomes a model in this passage when she pours out fragrant, expensive perfume upon Jesus’ feet. The question of what we value is examined in light of the criticism expressed for this so-called, “waste.” Often times, we wrongly make judgments based on the “greater good,” as Judas does in this passage. The next day, a great crowd greets Jesus with palm branches and jubilation. His hour has come as God’s ultimate plan is carried out and the son is glorified. Daniel 9:25-26, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53, Psalm 59
