In this passage from Mark 14, a woman walks into a dinner party and breaks open a jar of (very!) expensive perfume pouring all of it on Jesus. Some respond with indignation stating, “Why this waste?!” In response, Jesus alludes to another broken jar, his own body, which will soon be broken and poured out. How will you and I respond to such “waste”?
Why this waste?
