“1[…] Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body”
But in the end they were not able to anoint Jesus’ body because he already resurrected. Maybe also that he was already been anointed. In mark 14 a woman in Bethany already anointed Jesus, although the “perfume on [his] body [was poured] beforehand [so Jesus] to prepare for his burial”(Mk14,8) Through this action she did a “beautiful thing”(v6) and something which will be remembered because Jesus said that “wherever the gospel is preached through the world” there will also be told “what she has done”(v9). What she did was also really unique. She took the opportunity to do good to him. Both Mary also wanted to anoint him with oil but it was already too late. Sometimes situation happens to happen only once or very rare. But you never know if it will be the last moment or not. So when there is a chance to do good take it and think for what you want to use your time. Are you able to tell nice stories from your life? Are they heart warming or just a story about a unsatisfied individual person living on his own? Make a story of your life worth listening especially for God and to built up others.
