Holy Week Devotional Through The Gospel of John

Introduction to the Events of the Scripture

Have you ever witnessed a moment that changed the atmosphere of a room? Picture this: Mary, with her heart overflowing, takes a jar of expensive perfume – pure nard – and anoints Jesus’ feet. As the warm, sweet fragrance fills the air, the weight of her sacrifice hangs heavy. You can almost feel the whispers: “Why such a waste?” But in that moment, something profound shifts not only in Mary but in everyone watching. This is a moment of genuine love, and it’s contagious.

As we enter Holy Week, we find ourselves on a sacred journey that ultimately leads to the joy of Easter Sunday. This week is rich with the events that encapsulate the essence of our faith – the love, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, we gather around John 12:1-11, a passage that captures a beautiful and intimate moment in the life of Jesus. Mary, anointing Jesus with costly perfume, reminds us of the deep love and reverence we can offer to our Savior.
