Ointment was something
that was so valuable, precious and special in Bible days. Today we think
nothing about it. Anointing of the head with oil brought a sense of freshness
and purity for the guest after travelling through the desert. Ointment was very
carefully made, it was both blended and fragrant. Ointment in the Old Testament
was sometimes a type of the Holy Spirit. We should learn to appreciate the Holy
Spirit in our lives more and more.
