Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
The woman repented and comes forth for appreciation.And the anointing was for the preparation of Jesus death.For as Jesus knowest that there will be no time for the body to be treated and decourated traditionally after His burial. for the two mary went to anoint the body of Christ and finally discovered that He has risen.

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
The women wanted to give her best to Jesus, she wanted to show how much she loved him and expressed this by doing this good deed. Jesus was pleased because he knew she was doing from her heart, and she was not giving any old thing, but the best, that is how God wants us to give of her best in anything unselfishly. It must come from the depths of our heart and it must be done for through love.

A true Christian will only PREPARED the best to his/her King. That women poured an expensive ointment knowing He is God who will be crucified and buried for our salvation. Jesus disciples dont realize this and they are NOT PREPARE; because after that in Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus ask them to pray with Him but what they do is sleeping ''Matthew 26:36-46''.

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
Because the woman`s genuine, personal and devoted act was done for pleasing and honoring our precious Jesus and not with any earthly intent to seek another`s approval. Nothing is ever wasted which is spent for Christ.

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
The woman`s act was so pleasing to Jesus because she did the recommendable job for Jesus and that she had Jesus in her heart by pouring the expensive oiltment for the preparation of Jesus` burial. The act was also so pleasing to Jesus as a memorial to the whole world. Its like the deciples forgot the importance of Jesus by troubling the woman , however, we as believers should learn that we should seek first Jesus and allow Him into our hearts and all other thing will be added to us. ''Mathew 6 Vs 33''. We should submit our lives to God and resist the devil . James 4 Vs 7

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me. For you always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me. For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

Matthew 26:6-13
