John 12:1-8INTRO: I know this is Palm Sunday and I read the wrong storyHowever, this is like an introduction to this big occasion, because   Jesus came to stay in the home of his friends the day before his grand entrance   - by the time he reached Bethany, his ministry was winding down    ~ when we read to the end of this chapter,          We come to the end of Jesus’ service to the crowds (in John’s Gospel)    ~ they will hear nothing more from him, personally  - in fact, this important detail of limited opportunity is highlighted in this chapterI wonder how long Mary had been wanting to bless Jesus in this way  - she not have been sure she’d ever have the opportunity    ~ but here he was, right there in her home         if she chickened out now, would she have a second chance?    ~ turns out, she wouldn’t! it was now or never  - later on, Jesus will talk about missed opportunities — vv. 35-36 & 46
