John 12:1-11
圣若望福音 12:1-11
This Gospel verse illustrates how Mary expresses her deep devotion to Jesus for raising her brother Lazarus from the dead. She took pure nard and poured it onto Jesus’ feet, treating the precious oil as insignificant in comparison to Him. This act demonstrates how I should honor Jesus. Using expensive oil and wiping someone’s feet is an extravagant form of worship, and Mary’s actions toward Jesus highlight how important He became to her after the resurrection of her beloved brother. Because of her example, I now understand the depth of love and respect I should have for Jesus, especially for being there for me in times of weakness and struggle.
Take a moment in prayer to ask the Lord: ‘What are You revealing to me through this Gospel?’ Be open to His voice and allow His Word to transform your heart.
这段福音凸显玛利亚对耶稣深切的敬重，因为耶稣使玛利亚的兄弟拉匝禄从死者中复活。玛利亚拿了一斤极珍贵的纯「拿尔多」香液，敷抹了耶稣的脚；与耶稣相比，那宝贵的油对她是微不足道的。她的举动教导我如何敬爱耶稣。以昂贵的油为他人涂抹并擦脚是一种奢华的敬拜方式；玛利亚对耶稣的行为凸显了在她心爱的兄弟复活后，耶稣对她而言是多么的重要。如今，因着她的榜样，让我明瞭我必须深爱耶稣和敬重祂，因耶稣一直陪伴在我身边，尤其是在我软弱和痛苦挣扎的时候。
让我们静默祈祷，“主，祢藉着这段福音要告诉我什么信息呢？”我们打开心门聆听并接受主的声音，让主的话语改变我们的心。
