The battle lines were being drawn.
It was time to choose.
It is a battle of faith.
Who is Jesus?
Is He a Menace or Messiah?
Is He
Prediction (1-2)
The feast at Bethany took place “six days before the Passover” (John 12:1) in the house of Simon the leper.
Apparently he had been healed by the Lord Jesus.
There were at least seventeen people at this dinner: Simon, Mary, Martha, Lazarus, Jesus, and the 12 Apostles.
True to her character as the “doer” in the family, Martha did the serving (Luke 10:38–42)

Coup (3-5)
These should have been the first welcome the true king

300 danari — a years wages.
When we combine the Gospel records, we learn that she anointed both His head and His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair.
A woman’s hair is her glory (1 Cor.
11:15).
She surrendered her glory to the Lord and worshiped Him with the precious gift that she brought.
It was an act of love and devotion that brought fragrance to the whole house.
Because she had listened to His word, Mary knew that soon Jesus would die and be buried.
She also knew that His body would not need the traditional care given to the dead because His body would not see corruption (Ps.
16:10; Acts 2:22–28).
Instead of anointing His body after His death, she did so before His death.
It was an act of faith and love.
Love for Jesus sometimes is upsetting to others
Love for Jesus can seem wasteful
Love for Jesus is a good thing
Love for Jesus
Pay-off (14-16)
Jesus called him son of perdition (John 17:12) which literally means “son of waste.”
There are the haters
There are the unrestrained lovers
There are the pretenders
Be like Mary.
Take home: Show your unrestrained love for Jesus sometime this week.
“Waste” something on Jesus.
Maybe it’s time.
Maybe it something that you own you can give to him.
Maybe it is a talent that you have.
“Waste” it on Him with no thought of it’s cost.
Do not go into debt, or neglect your responsibilities for that would not be worshipful.
