It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be.

Is He The Christ? Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 13, 2008

based on 28 ratings

Thus a shift in subject springs from Jesus’ last answer. If Jesus’ authority to ...read more
