Don’t Worry He’s Sovereign (Mark 14:1-11)

We know that our Lord is one who cares for the poor, the widow, and the orphan.  We know that our Lord is the one who heals the sick, takes away diseases, and is one tho ultimately takes away the sting of death. If this is true, then why is Christ so cavalier by respond to the disciples that they will always have the poor?  Why not hear their suggestion to sell the ointment, give the money to the poor, and then just use a cheaper bottle?  What does this story have to do with the tragic decision of a disciple and the leaders of Israel finally having the fortitude to send Christ to the cross?
