Anointing of Jesus

The Jesus movement was spreading like wildfire throughout the Roman Empire in early years of the Common Era. Before the Jesus movement, women were being suppressed and had to submit to man 's authority. Women had no right to hold a higher position in life or in the church. Women had very little choices of what they really wanted to become in their later years. They were either to be a housewife or labeled as being whores.

common people. The cross was an embarrassment to the Roman public. Death by crucifixion, historically, could take days to culminate towards its end. However, with Christ it only lasted six hours. On the day Jesus Christ was crucified, the “sky turned completely dark at noon” and Jesus encompassed every sin of mankind and embraced the sins of the world, even though He did not know sin (p.…

life”(228). In article 47, various topics about the call to be holy are discussed. The goal of “Christian morality is to live a holy life”(230).
