This Sunday, we’re in John 12:1–19, a powerful moment where two scenes fade into one story:
The Fragrance of Worship (Mary pouring out what’s most valuable at Jesus’ feet)
The King on a Donkey (Jesus entering Jerusalem… not on a war horse, but in humility)
And right in the middle is a question we all have to answer:
Am I pouring my life out for Jesus… or am I standing back criticizing?
Am I following the crowd… or surrendering to the King?
In this passage, we see:
Mary’s extravagant worship (a love that doesn’t count the cost)
Judas’ criticism (with his spiritual-sounding excuses that hide a heart issue)
A cheering crowd (with loud praise that can fade when Jesus doesn’t meet their expectations)
Jesus, the true King—moving steadily toward the cross for our salvation
If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you, or you’re tired of fake faith and shallow hype, this message is for you. Jesus still brings people from the tomb to the table… and He’s worthy of everything we’ve got.
Come worship with us this Sunday. Bring someone who needs hope.
