Sweet Incense
David Falk
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been considering
the last days of Jesus’ life. Following His death, those
who loved Him brought spices to the tomb. They came
to anoint the body of their Lord. All these spices used
to create sweet incense, are Hebrew symbols of prayer.
We’ll recall that Mary Magdalene was the one who
loved much because she had been forgiven much. The
Scriptures say that she went out to the tomb ‘while it
was still dark’. John 20:1. I think she learnt that from the
Master. He regularly rose early, long before the sun came
up, and went out to a solitary place to pray.
