—John 12:1-8
by: Tim Bond.
Having read Tuesday’s Scripture and devotion, readers will find that John gives a very different take on this event. John’s gospel was written later than Matthew and Mark’s, which agree on details. Seventy years of experience show that my siblings remember events differently than I do. I know I am correct; they think they are. You will need to choose whether Matthew or John is correct, or whether they describe similar but different events. Either way, we must keep in mind that the point of both passages is the same: the primary importance of demonstrating our love and devotion for Jesus Christ.
