This is the fourth week of the season of Lent, and we continue our Worship series guided by Amy-Jill Levine’s Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner’s Guide to Holy Week.
The Scripture passage this week is the story of a woman anointing Jesus’ feet (or head depending on which Gospel you read). We may recall this story of a woman in its various forms. Perhaps we think of Mary as the one anointing as depicted below, or perhaps as an unnamed woman. Perhaps this is the home of Lazarus as we read in this week’s text, perhaps the home of a Pharisee. We have an opportunity to learn not only from where these stories are different but from where they are similar. Jesus is recognized and celebrated. Imagine the risks of rejection that are taken in order to follow the Messiah.
Scripture: John 12:1-8
