JUST MIND YA "BIDNESS" Pt. 1

Mark 14:3-9 (NIV)
3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. 4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a years wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly. 6"Leave her alone," said Jesus. "Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

FYI:
The woman spoken of in this particular passage is Mary. Not Jesus' mom, rather Mary with the Alabaster Box.... STAY WITH ME...

The carnal minded always have carnal thoughts...

When Mary gave her offering to Jesus, the disciples automatically got in their feelings, or, as the dignified would state, was speaking in the flesh. They outwardly spoke against her. The Bible says that they had indignation towards her, which Webster states as anger aroused by something unworthy. To the disciples, this particular offering could have been used for monetary gain. This is the carnal minded thinking those carnal thoughts.

However when Jesus heard them speakingagainst her, He told them to leave her alone. Jesus knew why the Fatherled her to give such an offering. It was to prepare Jesus body for His death and burial. Jesus knew they didn't understand, because mentally they weren't prepared for what was coming. Jesus had to take control, and basically tell them to mind their business. To the carnal minded it was a waste, but to Mary, she was doing what she was called to do. Funny thing about it is Mary didn't even have to utter a word. Jesus immediately stood up for her. If our God is for us, who can be against us??? If we are truly about our Father's business there is NOTHING that ANYBODY can do about it except to MIND THEIR OWN "BIDNESS"!!!
