And then, to more strongly improre the anvil chorus with the importance of doing what one can, ho spoke this prophecy:
"Verily I say unto you, Whero- soever this gospel shall be preach- dd throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall bo spoken of for a memorial of her.'
That prophecy has been fulfill- jbd.
The woman who "wasted" the box of ointment is known through- out the world as one who did what she could. But the great part of the story is not that she is known, no!
It is that she did what sho could!
In all the Bible there is not a botter bit of guidance than comes through this simple story.
In all this world, trouble, care and hardships would be reduced to a minimam if each individual did what he or she could do:
Of courte, there is a tendency to bolittle one's own possibilities. The religion of Jesus, warped and twisted through centuries of] misuse and disuse, hne fostered this tendency.
