Our scripture this Sunday starts us clearly down the path to Jerusalem and the crucifixion. On their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, Jesus and his traveling companions stopped for dinner at the house of Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary. They were relaxed, reclining, enjoying a lovely meal, when Mary did something surprising. She opened an expensive bottle of perfume, poured on Jesus’s feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. It was an expensive act and a symbolic one, foreshadowing Jesus’s farewell meal with his friends a few days later and his burial after the crucifixion. But what does it mean for today’s Christians? We will explore this story in worship, as we try to see ourselves at that dinner. See you Sunday, in person or online.
