CHAPTER 14 - WHY DID SHE DO THAT? – A RESPONSE OF GRATITUDE
Not only are believers recipients of great mercy but we also receive amazing grace. God’s grace is His extension of favor that we have not earned and do not deserve. It is difficult to acknowledge God’s unmerited favor without being overwhelmed with gratitude. The responses of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, and Zacchaeus, the tax collector, to the mercy of Jesus are examined to illustrate expressions of gratitude through giving.
Reference Scripture:
John 12:1 – 8 (Mary and the anointing perfume)
Supporting Scriptures:
Luke 10:41 – 42 (Mary chooses the better part, sitting at Jesus’ feet)
John 11:25 (I am the resurrection)
John11: 14 – 15 (I am glad I was not there)
Luke 19: 1 – 10 ( Zacchaeus)

Internet Bible Study - Chapter 13
CHAPTER 13 - WHY DID SHE DO THAT? – A RESPONSE OF LOVE
The next examination of motive involves the Biblical account of Jesus’ visit to the house of Simon the Pharisee. In this account we see how those who receive and recognize the great mercy of God respond with great love. The woman’s response to Jesus illustrates that our love for God involves more than emotion, it involves action and that its natural expression is selfless giving.
Reference Scripture:
Luke 7:36 – 47 ( Simon the Pharisee and the sinful woman)
Supporting Scriptures:
Revelation 3:20 (I stand at the door and knock)
Ephesians 1:22&23 ( the church is the body of Christ)
