A Woman Pours Costly Ointment on the Head of Jesus

by Rachel Sittig

First told in the gospel of Mathew two days before Jesus was to die 

He was eating at the house of Simon the leper 
A woman came with a costly bottle of  ointment and poured it over his head 
Jesus told them she had done a good work for me 
His disciples thought that the ointment could  have been sold for silver 
And the silver given to the poor 
Jesus said you will always have the poor, but you will not always have me.
Thus wherever the gospel is preached in world 
You are to tell the story of woman who poured ointment over Jesus' head  
Because she was willing to give her best to The Lord 

Amen
