Evening: Psalms 64, 65; John 11:55 – 12:8
It’s a very human scene … Mary is at the centre, doing a shocking and unconventional thing for that culture, anointing Jesus’ feet with her hair. Martha is serving, as she usually does. Lazarus, their brother, whom Jesus raised from death, is likely there somewhere. Judas, Jesus’ betrayer, is worrying about the budget and the poor. Jesus evokes a different response in each one of them. He probably still evokes widely varied responses in all of us, responses that determine the shape of our faith, or our doubt, or our questions … So what do you think of Jesus?
