I wept when I got to the part when the woman prepares Jesus for burial with the alabaster box of perfume; and continued to read. May you experience the reality of the crucifixion and His sacrifice for us with me as I read to the end tearfully and choked up. My glasses were fogging up!
These readings are all unedited and each in one sitting. I post one a week; however I have been reading one a day, making for intense revelation as I immerse myself in the Word of God.
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He was reclining at the table.
When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her." Matthew 26:6-13
The alabaster box of perfume poured on Jesus, often identified as containing spikenard (John 12:3), is described in the Bible as very costly. The value of the perfume is estimated at 300 denarii, which was roughly equivalent to a year's wages for a laborer at that time. Due to its rarity and the labor-intensive process required to extract the oil, spikenard was very expensive. It was often kept in alabaster jars, which helped preserve its fragrance and quality. The price of spikenard was so high that it was typically reserved for royalty or religious purposes, indicating its significant worth and luxury status. It was known for its therapeutic properties and was used in traditional medicine for various ailments.
To estimate its value in today's dollars, we can use a rough equivalent of a year's wages for a laborer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for a laborer in 2023 was approximately $40,000.
Therefore, the value of the alabaster box of perfume in today's dollars would be roughly equivalent to $40,000.
