 It was extravagant and it was a costly gift. It could have been sold for a year's wages, the passage tells us. So I believe in this bountiful gift. This woman demonstrated her great value of Jesus. She valued Jesus above a year's wages and it was a great sacrifice for her. But for Jesus, it was not about the rich gift, but the heart that wanted to give so much to him. She wanted to give something extravagant to show how important Jesus was in her life. And for that, she was praised.
