Mary Of Bethany - Her Legacy In Scripture

Mary of Bethany - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read John 11:28 – 44.

1. Do you hear verse 32 as an accusation, a statement of fact, or what? Why?

2. Put yourself in Mary’s place. Your brother, who lives with you and supports you, has died. Then Jesus raises him. How do you react?

Read John 11:45 – 12:8.

3. Why do you think Mary made such an extravagant gesture, using perfume worth a year’s wages?

4. Could Mary or anybody else at this dinner have predicted that Jesus might be arrested in less than a week? What makes you say that?

5. How can you express your love for Jesus? Where does money fit in, if at all?
