Mary of Bethany: The Woman Immortalized by Christ


Mary of Bethany: The Woman Immortalized by Christ. ❤️❤️❤️

At Christ’s feet for instruction..

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.—Luke 10:39

"But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."—Luke 10:42

At Christ’s feet for comfort...

Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."—John 11:32

At Christ’s feet for service...

Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.—John 12:3 (see also Matthew 26:6-13)

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.  To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?—2 Cor 2:14-16
