Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

There they gave a dinner for him.

Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair.

The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

John 12:1–3

Mary offered an extravagant blessing to Jesus, by anointing his feet with a very expensive perfume.

This was an act of love and discipleship by Mary, who was filled with affection

and gratefulness toward Jesus after he brought her brother Lazarus back from the dead.

Mary models for us the devotion and love we should have for Jesus.

Join us Sunday as we explore God’s amazing love and how to live our life in response.
