John 11:55-12:11

This story of the lavish outpouring of love of Mary, sister of Lazarus and Martha, signals the close of Jesus’ public ministry. Reverend Eric Alexander invites us to reflect on our relationship with Christ and to see ourselves through the lens of the curious, the committed, and the counterfeit. Allow the Spirit to bring you to the feet of Jesus, like Mary, on Hear the Word of God.
