This Sunday, March 17, at St. Andrew’s in Ajax, we’ll be looking at John 12:1-8. It tells of the outrageous pouring of perfume on Jesus. Outrageous? It was Judas, yes that Judas, who objected to this, and he may have had a point, on the surface of things. He just made his point out of the wrong motive, and did not, perhaps could not, perceive what was really happening. The whole episode shows that the very presence of Jesus brings strong reaction. His very presence disallows indifference, especially concerning who he is, as well as the things he cares about. So part of what we will explore is how is Jesus present today, and where is that kind of reaction to him?
