In this classic story of the woman at the well, Rory explains why Samaria was sort of a "no-go" area for Jews. Nevertheless, Jesus was called to travel through there where he met the Samaritan woman. She had three strikes against her: she was a Samaritan; she was a woman; and she was living in adultery. Lovingly, He confronted her that she needed to be saved and experience the living water of the Holy Spirit. Satisfaction on any level will fade away – except for the life-giving Spirit of the Living God.

Jesus is baptizing at the same time as John the Baptist, and some of John's disciples are a bit jealous, recognizing that Jesus had more people coming to him than John did. John knew his ministry was not about him; instead, he needed to reflect all glory and attention to Jesus. In our lives and ministries, we much decrease and Jesus increase. Let his fame be made great.

During Passover, the Scribes and priest sought to get rid of Jesus through trickery. Then Mark inserts the story of Mary's anointing of Jesus. Taking a valuable alabaster jar, she breaks it and pours valuable oil of spikenard on Jesus' head. She was criticized for this, but Jesus defended her saying she gave what she could. She gave all she had as worship to Jesus as an act of love from the heart. After, Judas decides to betray Jesus and goes to the ruling Jews to make plans to do so.

Jesus was sent into the world to save it, not to condemn it. There is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus. Jesus is the light of the world, but it isn't our natural tendency to come to the light. It's the sovereign work of God that moves us in that direction.
