The Bible refers to Jesus as the sacrificial lamb. During my recent studies, I discovered a wonderful correlation.
The Bible talks about the woman anointing Jesus with oil multiple times in the texts. I had always assumed these were different accounts of one event, but they are not. There were, actually, two separate events.
In Luke 7:36-39 an immoral woman enters the house where Jesus is and, 6 days before his crucifixion, washes his feet with oil.
In Matthew 26:6-13 another woman, 2 days before the crucifixion, enters a house in Bethany and anoints Jesus’ head with oil.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, 6 days before the Passover, the priest selects an unblemished lamb for sacrifice and anoints its feet with oil. Then, 2 days before Passover, the priest again anoints the lamb – this time his head – to signify he is, indeed, disease and blemish free. When the Bible calls Jesus our sacrificial lamb, it wasn’t lying!

Every detail in Our Saviors life was attended to. The Lamb need for sacrifice without blemish or defect – Our Jesus allowed us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection from the dead. Father merciful plan of redemption
