Holy Week: Prepared for a Burial

Matthew 26:6โ€“13

While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. โ€œWhy this waste?โ€ they asked. โ€œThis perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.โ€

Aware of this, Jesus said to them, โ€œWhy are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.โ€

Why do you hesitate to give what you have to God? How does the magnitude of Jesus' gift change your perspective on giving?

Join this week as we follow Jesus who held back nothing...
This is what it's all about ๐Ÿ‘‡

Whose son is he?โ€ โ€œThe son of David,โ€ they replied. He said to them, โ€œHow is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him โ€˜Lordโ€™? For he says, โ€œโ€˜The Lord said to my Lord: โ€œSit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.โ€โ€™ If then David calls him โ€˜Lord,โ€™ how can he be his son?โ€ No one could say a word in reply, and...
