Perfume & Palm Branches
Scripture Text: John 12: 1-13
Date: April 13, 2025
AI Generated Summary: In this sermon, we examine how Mary’s extravagant devotion to Jesus, pouring expensive perfume on Him, connects directly to His triumphal entry into Jerusalem just hours later. Through Mary’s example, we’re challenged to consider whether our own devotion to Christ ever makes others uncomfortable, as true discipleship often does. We’re reminded that Jesus requires both palm branches and perfume—recognition of His kingship and acknowledgment of His sacrificial death. Nothing given to Christ is ever wasted, as only what’s done for Him will ultimately last.
