Sunday, April 6, 2025, John 12:1-8, Jesus’ True Purpose.
Neither Judas nor the other disciples understand the magnitude of Jesus’ purpose. But Mary of Bethany does. The disciples argue who is the greatest disciple; who sits on the right side of Jesus. The disciples have the eagle’s eye for the unimportant. But Mary understands that the mission of Christ is to reshape the values of the world so that they are God’s values. And because Mary knows Jesus’ true purpose, she defies the priorities of those who focus on wealth and power. The treasures of this world are merely peanuts. What is some 300 denarii perfume compared to the gift of everlasting life? No money can buy that, and no power can force that. Come and be strengthened by this powerful message this Sunday, 10AM, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front St., Issaquah, WA and on YouTube.
– Pr. Olaf
