March 31

Matthew 26:3-16

When you read this passage do you focus on Judas' betrayal of Jesus or the woman's extravagant act of preparation? My attention keeps drifting towards Judas, however, what Jesus says is that this woman will always be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. We know how badly Judas fails, but Jesus doesn't point at Judas in this passage, he points at the woman. Maybe he wants us to recognize her stunning act of generosity and learn from her.
