At the Feet of Jesus

At the Feet of Jesus

In the Gospels, we find a woman named Mary who shows us what it means to truly love Jesus. Every time we read about her, she’s at the feet of Jesus. Let’s look at three special times this happens and see what we can learn.

Listening at His Feet

The first time we see Mary, she’s sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening to Him teach. While her sister Martha is busy serving, Mary chooses to be close to Jesus, soaking in every word. Jesus says Mary made the better choice. This shows us how important it is to spend time with Jesus, learning from Him.

Crying at His Feet

Later, Mary’s brother Lazarus dies. When Jesus comes, Mary runs to Him, falls at His feet, and says, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” She’s heartbroken. But even in her sadness, she knows to go to Jesus. He comforts her and then raises Lazarus from the dead. This teaches us to bring our pain to Jesus. He understands and cares.

Giving at His Feet

In John 12, Mary does something amazing. She takes a whole jar of expensive perfume and pours it on Jesus’ feet. Then she wipes His feet with her hair. The house fills with the sweet smell. Some people think it’s a waste, but Jesus says it’s beautiful. Mary gives her best to Jesus, holding nothing back. This shows us how to worship with all our hearts.

What We Learn

Mary’s actions teach us three big lessons:

1. Listen to Jesus: Spend time reading the Bible and praying. Let His words guide you.

2. Bring Him Your Pain: When you’re sad or hurting, go to Jesus. He wants to help you.

3. Give Him Your Best: Worship Jesus with all you have. Don’t hold back your love.

Being at the feet of Jesus means putting Him first in everything. Mary shows us how to do that. Let’s follow her example and stay close to Jesus every day.
