Thank you for sharing this perspective. I appreciate this line, “This intimate moment between a woman who is not ashamed to love and stand by Jesus even in his scandalous death. A death designed to terrorize and disrupt the movement and make it too expensive in life blood to continue to follow Jesus. But she stayed when all the others left.” Being Christlike is standing by those in need…especially when others leave.
