Ps. 36:5-11: A song of praise to God for his faithfulness to preserve those who are upright in their hearts. Beautiful pictures of how God does that such as being as high as the clouds & as deep as the seas. As steadfast as a mountain. He even protects us as we hide in the shadow of his wings. This last one is as a hen would protect her chicks. Lastly he will bring righteousness to all people.
Heb.. 9:11-15:Speaks of how Jesus was the last and perfect lamb that takes away our sins.
John 12:1-11: Mary the sister of Lazarus anoints Jesus feet with an expletive ointment. Jesus praises her for doing so & says that she will be remembered for doing so, for she was preparing Jesus' body for burial.In the Old Testament, we we prophecies of what Jesus will do when he comes (Is. 42:1-9; Ps. 36:5-11).But in the New Testament we see how Jesus came and fulfilled those prophecies. Paul reminded Jesus followers that Jesus was the last and perfect lamb that God gave to take away our sin forever (Heb. 9:11-15). In John 12:1-11,we see Mary the sister of Lazarus anointing Jesus' feet with a very expletive ointment to prepare him for burial. You see in their culture this was what they did to the body of some one who had died. When the disciples complained about that Jesus praised her for what she did as she did it in love.
