Anointed at Bethany



If you were Jesus, and you were weeks out from going to the cross, how would you be feeling?  If you were Jesus, and you knew that your friend and disciple, Judas, was going to betray you, how would you process that?  With all this going on around and in Jesus, what could ever have caused him to say of Mary as she poured out her expensive perfume, “she has done a beautiful thing to me”?  This week we explore and discover the significance and relevance of Mary anointing Jesus before his death, burial and resurrection.








Mark 14:1-11

1.  Read Mark 14:1-11 and discuss.  What part of the story stood out to you?  Is there a part of the story that you are confused by or have questions about?  Act like you were sitting around the table when this happened and ask, “How would I have responded”?



2. Who are you in this story? The religious people who were looking for what you can get away with? Maybe Judas who sells out Jesus for personal gain? Maybe Mary, who gave all she had for the one when gave all he was? Maybe a little of all of them?



3. The Easter outreach is quickly approaching.  Please take time to pray as a group for the event and for the people coming.



4. Who do you know that you would love to see born again and connected to the church?  Would you commit to intentionally reaching out to them and inviting them to Easter morning?
