Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor? Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death

In this simple bible plan, we explore four ideas that help us grow as followers of Jesus. We will look at scripture and unpack concepts around being Jesus-centered, discipleship oriented, intimacy called, and missionally present. Each session has a scripture reading, a devotional thought, and a short time of guided prayer. Our hope is that it would help you follow Jesus to the depths of His heart and the ends of the earth.
5 Days
A life poured out. We see an example of this in Mary who anointed Jesus (John 12:1-8). In these next 5 days, let us do as Mary did and smash the alabaster jar, so we may be overcome by the fragrance of Jesus.
This five day devotional is geared towards helping you to engage with scripture in quiet reflection. We encourage you to set apart intentional time for each session, as well as extended time to journal your experience (if you are able). Feel free to use written meditation or the accompanying audio.
Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on the first eight verses of John 12. It is part of an ongoing series through John.
