When There’s Not One Right Answer
From our childhood schooling, we are trained to believe that there is always one right answer, one best answer, in any situation. Yet life–and faith–is messier and more complicated than that. Today’s story, John 12:1-8 poses an either/or question: is it better to lavishly care for Jesus, or to feed the poor? For Mary, what was the most beautiful thing for her to do at that moment, when the man who raised her brother back to life sat in her house? When she knew—knew in a way that few seemed to fully realize—that his own life was about to be snuffed out with jeers and nails?
When I think about it that way, I can only be awed by Mary’s choice. To sit in a room of judgmental people, to give away not only her perfume but her love, to show Jesus that even as he walks to the cross, someone sees his sacrifice. We reflect on “When there is not one right answer.” Rev. Jeff Kunkel is preaching. Join us.
Sunday worship begins at 10:15AM.
