John 12:1-19

While Jesus was having dinner with Lazarus and his sisters in Bethany, Mary anointed Jesus' feet with some expensive perfume. Although Judas protested that it would have been better to sell the perfume to feed the poor, Jesus found her actions to be good. The next day, as Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people greeted Him with palm branches and shouts of "Hosanna!"

Some people recognize Jesus for who He is and others do not. Even when others do not understand or approve of our worship and devotion to Jesus, He sees and is honored by our faithfulness to Him. Worship Him with all your heart and don't worry about what others think. The only thing that matters is that our actions are pleasing to God.
