Is. 42:1-9:Prophecy of what Jesus would do.
Ps. 36:5-11:Why are you so down cast my soul?
Heb. 9:11-15:Jesus became the perfect and final lamb sacrificing himself for our sins once and for all.
John 12:1-11:Mary anoints Jesus' feet to prepare him for burial.
Today is the day after Jesus rode into Jerusalem. At this point in Jesus ministry, he had fulfilled for the most part what Isiah had prophesied that he would do(Is. 42:1-9). Now it was time for him to prepare his followers for what was ahead as he strives to walk towards God's will for him and mankind. In John 12:1-11, we see Mary anointing Jesus' feet to prepare him for burial.Jesus uses this to help prepare his followers for what was to happen come the end of the week. For Jesus knew that he was to become our perfect and final lamb that would sacrifice himself so that we might be saved (Heb. 9:11-15).
We should not be sad for what Jesus did (Ps. 36:5-11) but rejoice in the fact that he loved us enough to go to the cross for us.
Challenge of the day:
Think about the fact that Jesus loved you enough to choose to walk every day of his last week on earth knowing that he was going to die for your sins. Then thank him for doing so.
