Radical Worship

• John 12:1-8

  1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
  2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
  3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
  4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
  5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
  6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
  7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.
  8 For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
