This week’s passage reveals the climax of God’s plan of salvation as Jesus willingly endures trial, crucifixion, and burial while remaining fully sovereign and obedient to the Father’s will. At the cross, Jesus completes the work of redemption, declaring, “It is finished,” and opening the way for all who believe to be reconciled to God.…

Jesus willingly surrenders to arrest, demonstrating that He remains in control as He faithfully fulfills the Father’s plan. In contrast, Peter responds with self-reliance, fear, and ultimately denial, revealing the weakness of human strength apart from God.

At a dinner held in Jesus’ honor, Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. This act of worship asks a searching question: what is Jesus worth to us?
