About This Message
Six days before Passover, Mary breaks a pound of ointment worth a year's wages on Jesus's feet and wipes them with her hair, an act Judas criticizes as wasteful. Working through John 12:1-11, Pastor Addison contrasts Mary's costly, love-driven gift with Judas's hidden motives, and notes that Jesus called the anointing a preparation for his burial.
Key Takeaways
- Mary's gift, worth a year's wages, was motivated by love rather than obligation
- Judas's objection exposed his own greed rather than concern for the poor
- Jesus said the anointing was kept as a preparation for his burial
