1 | John12:1-9 | Titus 3:5 | sweet | 73326 | ||
John12:1-9 Jesus publicly showed His pleasure in Mary's action and defended it before others. I think that verse7 "Let her alone,she has kept this for the day of my burial. I believe that Jesus let Mary rub His feet, and dry His feet with her hair. Jesus allowed Mary to perform this. Letting others know how Good Mary was. |

Greetings sweet. We should not let the approval or disapproval of others rob us of what we have IN CHRIST. Jesus did not pronounce Mary good because of her actions, nor did her actions show others her "goodness." Our goodness is wrought only BY CHRIST! Nothing we do will ever make any of us “good” or acceptable in the sight of God. Mary’s actions were the result of the attitude of her heart toward Jesus. She saw in HIM, the only TRUE source of love and acceptance that really mattered. We always will have opportunity to respond to others, but Jesus reminds us of the necessity and urgency of our response to Him by His affirmation of Mary in this passage. He is not focused on her actions, but rather on her heart! "Today, if you hear His voice, harden not your hearts." (Heb 4:7) The time to respond to the offer of mercy and grace is NOW. None of us has to “prove” anything to anyone else, for Jesus did it all for us on Calvary. He alone makes us acceptable to God. Nothing we do will cause God to love us any more or less than He does IN Christ right now. (2 Cor 5:12-21) Christ has set us free from the law, let's not become enslaved to it!(Romasn 8:2) Blessings, mommapbs |
