Leviticus 11-12
No shellfish for the Jews. No roaches, no vultures, basically, no scavengers. They feed off icky stuff, and disease can result. I've been learning a lot in school about what's clean (pretty much nothing) and what's not (pretty much everything). Beware, however, O Lover of Lysol (you know who I'm talking to!), that irradicating all germs can lead to ones that are increasingly resistant to antiseptics. Wow, this is real spiritual, huh?
Matthew 26:1-25
What this woman did for Jesus always made a deep impact on me, even as a young child, I had a sense of her brokenness, her humility, her certainty that Jesus was the only one who might love her, help her, make her worthy. I read somewhere recently (and I'm trying to recall where; it drives me nuts when I don't cite my sources but I'm studying so much these days that I'm surprised I've not interwoven the teachings of Christ and types of insulin somehow). Anyhoo, when folks had a girl, they purchased an alabaster box (size was proportionate to wealth) and sweet spices, etc, were put into it to make this perfume/ointment. When a guy asked for the girl's hand im marriage, part of her acceptance was to break this alabaster box and annoint him with the contents. (I hope she got some too, cuz I don't know why the men all got to be the ones smelling pretty). Now, obviously, Jesus didn't marry this woman, but her act, aside from being generous, was one of submission, of surrender, of saying yes, and (although not many may have counted her worthy of marriage) offering up her most valuable possession that she had, The alabaster box is a great analogy for our lives. What's yours filled with, and does it smell sweet? More importantly, are we prepared to break it open and pour it out at Jesus' feet?
