The Anointed Question and Response
BibleProject
The Inverted Anointing Story of Jesus
The text discusses an interesting concept of anointing corpses with oil and perfumes. The Egyptians used embalming and fragrances to deal with the smell. Anointing is usually seen as a sign of God's heavenly life, but here it is being inverted for Jesus. The anointing for a king is to celebrate their rule, but in Jesus' case, it is to prepare for his death. The gospel authors imply that Jesus becomes a king through his death, which is symbolized by his crucifixion. His anointing for death becomes his coronation. It's a unique and fitting story of anointing, Jesus style.
