A Beautiful Story

Text: John 12: 3

A BEAUTIFUL STORY

John recorded a beautiful story of the evening when Jesus was at the home of Lazarus.

“Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.”

John 12:3

1. The family of Lazarus

a. Lazarus sat with Jesus at the supper table.
b. Martha served.
c. Where was Mary?

2. “Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard”

a. Mary had always been different from Martha.
b. When Jesus was in their home on another occasion, Mary just sat at the feet of Jesus to learn from Him (Luke 10:38-42).
c. Once again, she did something very different, special and precious.
d. Spikenard oil was imported from India.
e. It was costly and was used to anoint the head!
f. A whole pound of it would have cost a small fortune.

3. “Anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair”

a. Mary did not anoint the head of Jesus.
b. Instead she anointed the feet of Jesus.
c. And then she wiped His feet with her hair; such was her humility before a great Lord.
d. To say the least, this was an unheard-of deed!

4. “And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil”

a. Such was the quality of the fragrant spikenard oil.
b. The house was filled with the smell of the fragrance of the spikenard.

WHAT WAS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS DEED?

Mary could never forget the last conversation with the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. Her heart was filled with despair when her beloved brother had died.

2. Unbelief had overcome her and she was upset that Jesus had not come earlier to prevent death.

3. How could she express her love, gratitude for a restored faith when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead?

The outpouring of the pound of spikenard oil would be her love-gift to her beloved Teacher and Lord!

经文：约翰福音 12：3

一个美丽的故事

约翰记载了耶稣在拉撒路的家中时一个美丽的故事。

“马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏，抹耶稣的脚，又用自己的头发去擦，屋里就满了膏的香气。”

《约翰福音 12：3》

1. 拉撒路的家庭

a. 拉撒路与耶稣同席
b. 马大伺候耶稣
c. 马利亚呢？

2. “马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏”

a. 马利亚一向与马大不同
b. 在另一个场合，当耶稣在他们的家时，马利亚在耶稣脚前坐着听祂的道《路加福音 10：38-42》
c. 再次的，她做了一件与众不同、特别和珍贵的事情
d. 真哪哒香膏是从印度进口的
e. 真哪哒香膏是极贵的，并用于涂抹头部
f. 购买一斤的真哪哒香膏必定要花一大笔钱

3. “抹耶稣的脚，又用自己的头发去擦”

a. 马利亚没用香膏抹耶稣的头部
b. 相反的，她抹了耶稣的脚
c. 然后又用自己的头发去擦；在伟大主的面前，马利亚是多么的谦卑
d. 这是闻所未闻的行为！

4. “屋里就满了膏的香气。”

a. 这显示真哪哒香膏的质量
b. 屋里充满了膏的香气

这举动的意义是什么？

马利亚永远不会忘记与主耶稣基督的最后一次对话

1．当她心爱的兄弟去世时，她的心中充满了绝望

2．马利亚失去了信心，心也不悦耶稣没提早到来防止拉撒路的逝世

3．耶稣使拉撒路复活后，马利亚如何表达她对耶稣的爱和信心呢？

用这一斤的真哪哒香膏就是她送给她心爱的老师和主的爱礼！
