In both Matthew 24:14 and 26:13, the Lord talks about the gospel going into the entire world.
One is the gospel being preached for a witness, precipitating the end of the age. The other is about what Mary did when she anointed him.
Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."
For years I wondered, "Why?" A few months ago, I received a satisfying answer.
Should we ever wonder what degree of repentance and devotion is appropriate in responding to the Gospel, just look at what that woman did.
This woman's devotion to Jesus is an example of what He is looking for.
