April 9
Introduction
Mary anoints Jesus with expensive perfume for which Judas criticizes her. Jesus affirms Mary’s action and rejects Judas’s interpretation. The reading concludes with the religious leaders making plans to kill Lazarus whom Jesus had raised from death.
Scripture Reading
John 12:1-11
Today’s Key Verse: John 12:8
[Jesus said:] “You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me.”
Reflect
The reference to Mary anointing Jesus was noted earlier by the Gospel writer in John 11:2 (see the reading from April 6). What are your thoughts regarding Mary’s action (verse 3)? Regarding Judas’s words (verse 5)? Regarding Jesus’s response (verse7)? Why were the religious leaders making plans to kill Lazarus?
Pray
Lord Jesus, like Mary I seek to serve you with devotion and love. Empower me to serve in ways that advance your kingdom and bring glory to you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
