Lent 5C 4/3/22
This is a video of a Sunday Worship Service at First Congregational Church of West Brattleboro, Vermont. The theme for the day is "Life is a matter of perspective. We need to see life as God sees it … and trust God." The scripture is John 12:1-8 which is the story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfumed ointment. Judas disapproved of Mary wasting the ointment and said that the ointment could be sold and the money given to the poor. (Judas held the common purse and would only profit through embezzlement if there was more money.) Jesus on the other hand was grateful to Mary for this great and loving gift. The point is, there are two perspectives here – Judas' stingy perspective and Jesus'/God's generous and loving perspective. You choose.
