After giving us a vivid picture of the woman anointing the feet of Christ, Mr Black brought out the thought that the influence of a good deed, or the impression of an evil deed remain with the doer for a long time. In fact it is said that one seldom completely gets over the effect of an evil deed. On the other hand we never get away from the good done by a good deed. Here the woman had to make an effort to reach the Lord, and it meant a sacrifice. She not only ran the risk of being put out of the house, for she was called a "sinner," but she gave the most costly thing she had, to anoint the feet of Christ. It was her best.
