Anointed Heads and Overflowing Cups

Anointed Heads and Overflowing Cups

When the disciples objected to the woman anointing Jesus with oil (Matthew 26: 6-13) they revealed their own lack of contentment in life. For us too joy, happiness, and contentment are elusive. But David reminds us that our Good Shepherd anoints our heads with oil and causes our cup to overflow.

What does it mean that our Good Shepherd anoints our heads with oil and that our cup overflows? These images fit with the table he prepares for us. This sermon not only explores the Scriptural use of these images but discloses their application in our lives today. They are the solution to the elusively of joy, happiness and contentment.
