had given up the ghost in the hospital for lack of medical attention. The rich man took the money to the hospital only to find out that the sick man passed on a couple of hours before. When the woman who anointed Jesus Christ at Bethany did what she did, some people were protesting the “wastage”, but Jesus rebuked them for it and told them the significance of what she did. In Mark 14:8 He said: “She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.” Now, when on the resurrection morning, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome came to anoint the body of Jesus Christ, they went back with the costly sweet perfume unused because it was a belated gesture; Jesus had risen! The only perfume Jesus wore to the grave was the one the woman put on Him shortly before His arrest and eventual crucifixion. During this season, you will not offer a belated offering to God in Jesus’ Name. We must always be ready to do good, according to Galatians 6:10: “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Good deeds are needed and these deeds are time-bound, for them to be useful and appreciated. I pray that the ability and willingness to offer timely help to those who need it will be given to you this season in Jesus’ Name. ACTION POINT Look around you and see areas of need in your Church or neighbourhood. Decide to meet such needs before it is too late. AUTHOR: Pst E.A. ADEBOYE
