PASSAGE: Jesus Anointed at Bethany, The Triumphal Entry, Jesus Predicts His Death, The Jews Continue Their Unbelief
MEMORY VERSE: review
NOTES: (v.1-11) Jesus was having dinner at Bethany, when Mary took a pint of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. But Judas Iscariot, who would later betray him, objected, "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor?" But Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
-(v.12-19) A great crowd had gathered the next day when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
-(v.20-36) "The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in the world will keep it for eternal life. My Father will honor the one who serves me."
Jesus predicts his death by saying, "now the prince of this world will be driven out. But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
-(v.37-50) The Jews still did not believe Jesus after all the miraculous signs he performed, thus fulfilling the words of Isaiah (Isaiah 53:1). But still many put their faith in Him, but would not confess their faith in fear of the Pharisees.
Jesus said, "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."
ACT OF LOVE: This morning, my mom was bothered by a few things, so for my act of love I spent some time just listening to what was on her heart. She got a chance to vent some of the things that were troubling her, so I'm glad I got to spend time with her!
