We are thankful to Pastor Jayden O'Donnell from Liberti Church: Mermaid Beach for bringing us God's Word on Sunday:
Between the grand heights of the resurrection of Lazarus, and Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, John invites us to dine in Bethany, and witness a remarkable demonstration of devotion. It is here that we’re challenged & confronted, not only with the extravagant lengths that Mary was willing to go to in the service of Jesus, but with the deep-seated, idolatrous recalcitrance of Judas – a sobering call to self-reflection is invited. Yet in the midst of reflecting on the vitality of our devotion, Jesus reminds us that we’re to follow the scent of Mary’s perfume all the way to the Calvary, where He would lay down his life to take away the sins of the world.
