Reckless Extravagance?

The opening scene in John 12 highlights the transformative power of life and love in the face of adversity. During a dinner gathering, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with an expensive perfume and wipes them with her hair, an act of profound devotion and humility. Although Judas criticizes the act as wasteful, it is seen as an example of the call to give selflessly and without measure. Pastor James emphasizes that this passage invites believers to embrace sacrificial love, follow the path to the cross, and celebrate the resurrection. The imagery of fragrance symbolizes the ability of Christ's love to overcome life's difficulties, inviting us to reflect that love in our actions.
