Intro
This chapter starts off with two very delightful events, a party and Palm Sunday more accurately The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
The first was distinguish by the presence of Jesus a Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead.
There is also a dispute over perfume poured on Jesus feel rather than selling it a giving the money to the poor.
The second was distinguished by palm branched being spread in His path and the people shouting "Hosanna" and "blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord."
Here there is also a dispute over what good the strategem of their plot to kill Jesus.
Later some Greeks will come for the purpose of seeing Jesus.
So, why is it that the people that are here now and have seen all that Jesus has done really do not see Jesus?
Why is we are just as misled?
Communication is hard and no matter what you say others may hear or feel it differently.
Did Jesus want a confrontation and death?
No. But, His death was necessary for them and us.
So, did this misunderstanding come because the people were predestined to act as they did or did God have a bigger plan then and now and all of us are a part of it.
So lets start by looking at some reasons why they misunderstood and maybe we will see our own problems and what we can do about it.
Why is we are just as misled?
I. V.1-19 Missed Placed Priorities
I. V.1-19 Missed Placed Priorities
A. V. 1-8 Greed and Selfishness
1. Setting V.1-2 Place and Event
12:1 Time - Six days before the Passover,
Person - Jesus
Act - arrived at Bethany,
Specific - where Lazarus lived
whom Jesus has raised from the
dead
:2 Inference - Here a dinner was held in Jesus'
honor
Act - Martha served
while Lazarus was among those reclining at
the table with Him
table with Him
2. Spontaneous Love
:3 Act - Then Mary took
Specific - about a pint of pure nard,
an expensive perfume;
she poured it on Jesus feet
she poured it
on Jesus feet
AND
wiped His feet with her hair
AND
the house was filled with the fragrance of the
perfume.
A spontaneous display of love and emotion.
3. V. 4-6 Paralyzing Greed
:4 Contrast - BUT
Person - one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot
Specific - who was later to betray Him,
Act - Objected,
:5 Quote - "Why wasn't this perfume sold
AND
the money given to the poor?"
While Mary is lavishing love on Jesus Judas is arguing against the use of the perfume because of its money value.
Saying why wasn't it used for the poor.
It is always so nice and religious sounding to talk about the poor but the issue here is not the poor but the honoring of Jesus.
We should provide for the poor but not neglect the proper honor to Jesus.
The contrast here is between honor and cause.
Mary honored Jesus in His coming death.
Judas was the one that helped to cause His death.
:6 Explain - He did not say this because he cared
about the poor
the poor
Contrast - But because he was a thief;
Action - as keeper of the money bag,
he used to help himself to what was put
into it.
John gives his explanation for why Judas had this complaint.
Giving money is the least way to show charity.
