We distribute the little black book (lenten reflection booklet) to our students every lent. As part of our prayer practice we encourage its use during the forty days of lent.The Scripture verse the other day in my little black book was taken from Mark 14:3 and it is about the Bethany woman who anoints the head of Jesus with expensive oil.
So how would you have felt to anoint the head of Jesus?
Probably you would be like me and would have been really nervous, anointing the head of my Savior.
But maybe the woman didn't know exactly who Jesus was... or did she? She came to him, freely giving a gift that was costly.
