Life Application Questions

1. How does Mary’s act of worship, service, and sacrifice stand in direct

contrast to the religious leaders in John 11:48, to Judas in John 12:5, and

to the religious leaders in John 12:10? What do they each find to be most

glorious?

2. What details does John give us about Mary’s sacrifice in John 12:3? What

stands out to you the most?

3. There was no doubt Jesus was Mary’s highest priority and greatest

treasure. She brought costly perfume, she poured it on Jesus feet, she

humbled herself to the point of a servant, and the fragrance filled the

house. Jesus says Mary has chosen “the good portion”, or “the one thing

that matters most” from Luke 10:41-42.

A. Could the same be said of you? Do others know Jesus is your

highest priority, your greatest treasure, and the one thing that matters

most to you? Why or why not?

B. How would others know? What might this look like in your

workplace, in your family, with your children, with your friends, or in

your hobbies?

4. Take a few minutes to evaluate the way you spend your time, money,

energy, and resources. Based upon your evaluation, is God your greatest

treasure? If not, take some time to reflect upon the cross and the glory

of God found in what Jesus has done on your behalf.
