A scripture we discussed in great depth in class was the story of Mary using ointment on Jesus' feet. This was such a special story. It was found in John 12. This story means a lot to me because of the connection and relationship that Mary and Jesus have. Judas Iscariot criticizes the use of all the expensive ointment on the feet of Christ. He made a comment that selling that ointment could have fed so many poor people. Christ rebukes Judas for being critical and the story goes on. Judas never had the intentions to sell the ointment and give to the poor. An assumption could be made that he wanted to sell it and keep the money for himself. Where Christ is always a perfect example of selflessness and love, those in opposition to him are usually the perfect example in the vice of selfishness.

I had never read this scripture passage in depth before. It has meant so much to me to get a better insight into the relationship Christ and Mary had. It is such a sacred one. I have always loved that Mary is one of the first people to see the resurrected Christ. Their special bond is so thought-provoking. It help same understand my worth and value as a women. Christ loves all people, women included. I am so grateful that through Christ I am able to get a glimpse of my infinite worth.
