John 12:1-9 Judas lays into her. He lets her have it. He sees that she is royally wasting expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus and in front of her guests and in her own house, Judas can’t contain his contempt any longer. “This expensive perfume could have been sold and given to the poor.” How does a person get to this point? Not Judas, but Mary. What is it about these feet that seem more costly than the perfume that was worth the equivalent of thousands of dollars? The anointing of Jesus’ feet is a story that we are in desperate need of in our culture today. In a world where we use people and love things, please join us as we explore the infamous story of Mary anointing Jesus before his burial.
