There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

JESUS: HIS LIFE, a new series on HISTORY, explores Jesus through the lens of those closest to Him, and this devotional is designed to inspire you with stories of people in the Bible whose lives were dramatically changed by Jesus, in part because their expectations of who they thought He was or who they wanted Him to be were way off.
The Divine Love Story by Richard Anderson invites you into a transformative journey through Jesus’ ministry, revealing the depth of God’s love and call to discipleship. Each day pairs scripture with reflections to inspire deeper faith and devotion.
The bravery to live a life worth living doesn’t come from following five easy steps, reading a book, or redecorating your house. You get your power, joy, purpose, self-worth, and the bravery to live it all out directly from Jesus. Through the stories of the women of the Bible, we see that God can be encountered no matter who you are, what your status is, or where you live. Whether you're tackling huge obstacles or just going about your day-to-day, Jesus equips and encourages you to do incredible things for your good and His glory.
