Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

A woman anointed Jesus with precious oil worth a year’s wages. That’s a lot of money just to put hairdressing on him in that dry climate.

Mark 14:3 & 5 – Exodus 30:22-30 – Psalm 23: 5 –  Revelation 5:10

Fact of the Day

No! Mary did pay probably an average year’s wages for that oil.  But why?  This was a way for her to make Jesus her Messiah, her anointed one, her priest and king.

And, while we’re at it, when Jesus, our Good Shepherd, anoints our heads with oil, he is also making us priests and kings.
