John 12:2 So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
Imagine reclining at the table with Jesus, whose voice had called you out of the tomb. Maybe they were listening to Lazarus share his first thoughts upon re-entering his body in the tomb and hearing Jesus cry, “Lazarus, come forth!” Or maybe they were hearing him share about what he experienced while living outside his body. Or maybe they were listening to Jesus explain the significance of the miracle and its relevance to what was about to happen. Whatever it was moved Mary to honor Jesus in an expensive, extravagant, display of love. What about Jesus moves us to love like that?
