John 12:1-8
INTRO: I know this is Palm Sunday and I read the wrong story
However, this is like an introduction to this big occasion, because
Jesus came to stay in the home of his friends the day before his grand entrance
- by the time he reached Bethany, his ministry was winding down
~ when we read to the end of this chapter,
We come to the end of Jesus’ service to the crowds (in John’s Gospel)
~ they will hear nothing more from him, personally
- in fact, this important detail of limited opportunity is highlighted in this chapter
I wonder how long Mary had been wanting to bless Jesus in this way
- she not have been sure she’d ever have the opportunity
~ but here he was, right there in her home
if she chickened out now, would she have a second chance?
~ turns out, she wouldn’t! it was now or never
- later on, Jesus will talk about missed opportunities — vv. 35-36 & 46
