MisunderstoodPart 1

Have you ever been falsely accused? Have your motives been wrongly judged or your actions misconstrued? When Mary of Bethany poured out her ointment on the Lord, she was misunderstood and misjudged by those who observed. “And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made” (Mark 14:4)? It is interesting to notice in each of the gospels where you have this account, Mary never speaks up in her own defence. No, she leaves it to the Lord to vindicate and set the record straight. “And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on Me” (Mark 14:6).

The next time someone says something against you or your actions are wrongly judged, remember, the Lord knows your heart. Remember too, that no one was misunderstood as much as He was. “Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously” (1 Peter 2:21-23). What an example!
