Welcome to John chapter 12:1-8 as we prepare our hearts for the  triumphal entrance of "Melek ha-Olam" the King of the Universe! There  are 6 days left to Jesus' life on earth and each shall be filled with  tensions, animosities, trials and testing (mostly from His own  disciples). In this section we cover today Jesus has returned to the  "Devil's Den" being so close as 2 mile from Jerusalem and the council  that has decided it was time for Him to die! With spies all around Him,  He must carry on His mission for the Father until the appointed time  (which has not yet come)!! Within this section we see Jesus return to  Lazarus' house and a great dinner is prepared for Him. Of course Lazarus  is reclined at the table with Jesus, but Mary...! Martha can be found  where Martha always is, but how dare Mary be at the feet of Jesus!  Shouldn't she be with her sister serving those guests who have gathered  in number to see Jesus? And, why would Mary be so foolish as to waist  any of that precious dowry upon Jesus' feet? If she was so keen to give  away any possibility of hope in marriage, she easily could have sold the  ointment and given it to the "poor". Why place it upon Jesus' feet, and  why aren't you serving with Martha? These questions are to be addressed  this day with Pastor J, and you better hold on tight for you shall be  in the very presence of your KING!
