Chapter 12*

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”

Some might.

[Hebrews 11:6]

♫Surrounded by Your glory
♫What will my heart feel?
♫Will I dance for You Jesus
♫Or in awe of You be still?
♫Will I stand in Your presence
♫Or to my knees, will I fall?
♫Will I sing "Hallelujah"?
♫Will I be able to speak at all?
♫I can only imagine
♫I can only imagine

[SisterK]

Amen!

[InkStone]

Thanks, Claire, for your gracious expressions of appreciation.

Only those who have obeyed the Lord, which is all I am doing here and which I know you do, know personally the joy that He gives in return. I am exceedingly blessed.
