NT in 40 days: Matt. 26-28

For $12.25, Amazon is selling a bumper sticker 3-pack of "Obedient Women are Never Remembered in History."

Matt. 26:10-13 proves otherwise.

10 But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me? 11 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me. 12 She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial. 13 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed. [NLT]

Regardless, what's the benefit to being remembered in history? Even if you are, it will be long since you've ceased to care. I'd rather be remembered by my family and friends.
