Johannes 12:1-2

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.

The final week in the life of Jesus was no ordinary week. It was a time of bittersweet goodbyes, lavish giving, cruel betrayals and prayers that shook heaven. Experience this week, from Palm Sunday to the miraculous Resurrection, as we read through the Biblical account together. We will cheer with the crowds on Jerusalem’s streets, shout in anger at Judas and the Roman soldiers, cry with the women at the Cross, and celebrate as Easter morning dawns!

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?

Dies ist der zweite Teil einer dreiteiligen Bibelleseplan-Reihe zum Johannesevangelium. Nachdem Jesus in den ersten elf Kapiteln in Wort und Tat bewiesen hat, dass Er der Sohn Gottes, der versprochene Messias ist, beschreibt Johannes nun, wie Jesus Seine Jünger auf Sein Sterben vorbereitet. Diese Kapitel geben uns einen tiefen Einblick in Seine Gefühlswelt und Seine Liebe zu Gott, den Jüngern und all jenen, die durch deren Wort an Ihn glauben würden – also auch an uns. Tipp: Wenn du Teil eins der Reihe noch nicht gelesen hast, empfiehlt es sich, diesen zuerst zu lesen.
