S.O.A.P.
12-16-2014 Mark 14:1-9
S. 1
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the
chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put
him to death.2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of
the people.3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at
meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.4 And there were
some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of
the ointment made?5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred
pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.6 And
Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on
me.7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do
them good: but me ye have not always.8 She hath done what she could: she is
come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.9 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also
that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
O. Jesus
is anointed by a woman with an alabaster box of expensive oil. His disciples
thought it to be a waste but Jesus tells of his coming death and a need to be
anointed.
A. I
must learn the meanings of life’s events from God’s perspective. I will ask for
understanding, wisdom and patience……then……..wait (patience), apply (wisdom) and
grow (understanding) in each event of life.
P Father;
Open my eyes, fill me with your glory and reveal to me your plan for this day.
Amen.
