A Beautiful Thing

Expensive perfume fills a Bethany home six days before Jesus dies. Mary honours His coming burial, while disciples see wasted money and miss what He has repeatedly told them about His suffering. Jesus defends her timely devotion and makes His coming death the centre of this moment. Because Jesus gives Himself for sinners, His people can listen closely to Scripture, keep His death and resurrection central, and express grateful love through generous service.
