Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany | John 12:1–11
In John 12:1–11, we witness an extraordinary act of devotion—Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus' feet with costly perfume. This moment, just days before His crucifixion, foreshadows His burial and reveals the depth of sacrificial love. While Mary humbly honors Christ, Judas objects, exposing a heart hardened by greed.
How do we respond to Jesus? With hearts of gratitude and faith like Mary, or with doubt and self-interest like Judas? Join us as we reflect on the meaning of true worship, generosity, and devotion in light of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.
📖 Key Takeaways:
True worship is a response of love and gratitude for Christ’s redeeming work. Jesus’ anointing points to His coming death and resurrection.
