Devotional Thoughts Breaking The Alabaster Box Friends of Jesus had gathered in Bethany, in the house of Simon, the leper, for a feast. Among those present were Martha, Mary, their brother Lazarus, and doubt less other friends and followers of Jesus. Mary must have sensed that this would be her last chance to show her love for her Lord. She remembered she had been saving a cruse of costly perfume for some special event. The oc casion was at hand and she brake the cruse and anointed Jesus. John 12:3. What a beautiful act! The selfish, the self-seeking, the critical, the grumblers were on the job then as now. They said: “To what purpose has his waste of ointment been made? For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.” Mark 14:4-5. Mary, stunned and shock ed. but not for long for Jesus came to her rescue and said: “Let her alone, why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me.” Mark 14:6. Then he re minded them that what she had done would be a lasting memorial to her wherever the gospel was preached. Mary brake the alabaster box because she loved. In giving she imitated the Savior who gave him self for us. This same unselfish love and generous giving is need ed in our day. Let each of us resolve to go forth today and rend er such timeless service, and to break our alabaster box—^tomor row may be too late. Rev. H. C.
