John 12. Day 217 - The New Testament in a Year

Mary's Act of Worship.  Jesus's Triumphant Entry.  Death Predicted.  

"Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit." - John 12:24

In this chapter, we explore pivotal moments that point to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and His deep love for humanity. We begin with Mary's powerful act of worship as she anoints Jesus, move through His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and end with Jesus predicting His own death and explaining the necessity of sacrifice. Each of these moments reveals more of God’s character, showing His love, humility, and plan for redemption.

As we walk through these key events, we’ll also reflect on how they apply to our own lives today. We’ll discuss true worship, humility in leadership, and the life that comes through surrender to God. The journey through John 12 will not only deepen our understanding of scripture but also challenge us to grow in our faith and walk more closely with Christ.
