Sermon Introduction –
We are getting close to the story of the cross. Six days before the Last Supper, a woman named Mary washes Jesus’ feet with perfume. Jesus holds this as a sign of love and honor. How do we honor God in our own lives?
Introduction to this week’s readings –
Our God makes all things new. In the first reading God promises it. In the gospel Mary anticipates it, anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume in preparation for the day of his burial. In the second reading Paul recalls his transformation from the persecutor Saul into an apostle. In baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.
