For he had already said, John 1:23b, "...I baptize with water. Among you stands (27) the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal."<br /><br />(28) He saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God. I came for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel. I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove on him. (34) And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."<br /><br />Luke 7<br />37,38 A woman who lived a sinful life in that city found out that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house. So she took a bottle of perfume and knelt at his feet. She was crying and washed his feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them over and over again, and poured the perfume on them. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9QZxS03FvY&feature=related<br />Alabaster Box CeCe Winans (Live)<br /><br />The room grew still<br />As she made her way to Jesus<br />She stumbled through the tears that made her blind<br />She felt such pain<br />Some spoke in anger<br />Heard folks whisper<br />There's no place here for her kind<br />Still on she came<br />Through the shame that flushed her face<br />Until at last, she knelt before His feet<br />And though she spoke no words<br />Every thing she said was heard<br />As she poured her love for the Master<br />From her box of Alabaster<br /><br />Chorus:<br />I've come to pour<br />My praise on Him-like oil<br />From Mary's alabaster box<br />Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears<br />And I dry them with my hair<br />You weren't there-the night He found me<br />You did not feel what I felt<br />When He wrapped His loving arms around me<br />And you don't know the cost<br />Of the oil in my alabaster box<br /><br />I can't forget<br />The way life used to be<br />'Cause I was a prisoner<br />To the sin that had me bound<br />And I spent my days<br />Poured my life-without measure<br />Into a little treasure box<br />I thought I'd found<br />Until the day-when Jesus came to me<br />And healed my soul<br />With the wonder of His touch<br />So now I'm giving back to Him<br />All the praise He's worthy of<br />I've been forgiven<br />And that's why<br />I love Him so much<br /><br />Chorus:<br />So I've come to pour<br />My praise on Him-like oil<br />From Mary's alabaster box<br />So don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears<br />And I dry them with my hair<br />You weren't there-the night Jesus found me<br />You did not feel what I felt<br />When He wrapped His loving arms around me<br />And you don't know the cost<br />Of the oil in my alabaster box<br />You don't know the cost<br />of my praise<br />You don't know the cost<br />Of the oil in my alabaster boxLane Hill Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952459499802207852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364617788458228849.post-65757535420549915012012-03-30T07:17:16.754-07:002012-03-30T07:17:16.754-07:00I think these days we readily accept that Jesus ca...I think these days we readily accept that Jesus can/does forgive sins--but we're less likely to accent a healing miracle. Can you imagine if someone said their son was raised from the dead while in the hearse?? We'd scoff. But those around Jesus accepted that, then doubted his ability to forgive sins. Because, of course, THAT is the true miracle. Which begs the question of why we hesitate to accept the "lesser" ones in modern society.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
