Water Daily

Each day this week we will use the gospel appointed for the day, and hear from one of the main characters in the story, as I imagine they might speak. I hope this will help engage your own imagination as you walk this story with Jesus. Today we reflect on John 13:1-17 and Matthew 26:69-75, the story of Jesus’ washing his disciples’ feet during a Passover meal and its effect on a disciple. It can be hard to receive love.

This week we look at John 12:1-8, a story about a dinner party that went sideways when one of the hosts poured a jar of expensive perfumed oil on Jesus' feet. She was anointing the Anointed one, mirroring his self-offering with her own. Who in our lives needs to be loved so generously?

This week we look at John 12:1-8, a story about a dinner party that went sideway when one of the hosts poured a wasteful amount of perfumed oil on Jesus' feet, to the outrage of some of the guests. Is it ever right to be wasteful when it comes to love? Let's ask God about that...

This week we look at John 12:1-8, a story about a dinner party that went sideways. One of his hosts spread perfumed ointment on his feet - a lot of it, a gesture shocking in its intimacy and extravagance. Yet her giving, holding nothing back, is a model for us.
