—Matthew 26:1-13

This is a familiar passage. The "storyline" is one that many can recite from memory. Often, I find myself skimming familiar passages-I too can recite the "storyline." As with all Scripture, there are truths to be found as well. Writing a daily devotional forces me to look more deeply. As I read this passage with "new eyes," I saw a woman who was willing to give her all for Christ. She did not set a price limit on her love for him. She did not set socially acceptable etiquette limits on her love for him. She recognized him as Lord, and she displayed her love for him as best she could. She did not limit her worship to please those around her, but expressed what was in her heart of hearts. What an example for us today! We too can go to Christ. We can anoint him with our praise and worship. We can unashamedly open our hearts to him and be assured that he will see what is truly there.
