AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 26:12 "When she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. |
Bible Question: Did Mary know she was annointing Jesus for burial? Did Jesus simply apply what she was doing for Him to the situation at hand? |
Bible Answer: I can find no scripture to support that she knew fully what she was doing. We can only imagine with some measure of knowledge and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In examining the scriptures about this situation there was differing reports in the gospels, and none explicitly say she knew what she was doing. Jesus only stated that what she was doing was for a purpose. Whether she actually knew the purpose is debatable...which is what this forum is about I assume (: Personally, I don't believe she fully knew. Like today when we move in the Spirit....praying, doing a service, in ministry of some kind, etc....we know that things are for a purpose but we don't always fully know what that purpose is. I believe that we are limitted in our minds and spirits to what the Lord's plans are. But that He does move through us and in us is clearly evidenced in our fruits....like what Mary did. I hope this will help and not confuse....that is my prayer. God bless from a Hugger! |
