BREAK THE ALABASTER JAR

In that town was a woman who lived a sinful life. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house, so she brought an alabaster jar full of perfume and stood behind Jesus by his feet crying and wetting his feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed him and poured the oil on them.

Alabaster is a vessel made from soft marble in Egypt. It contains very expensive oil (Ex. 30:22-33). The disciples rebuked her for wasting such expensive oil. (Mt. 26:8-9)

Why did the woman break the alabaster of such an expensive oil? She could be very rich in the eye of the world because of what she possessed the oil. But she has a stigma her money could not remove, she was referred to as a sinner (Lk. 7:37). She desired salvation above riches.
