Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Jeremiah Johnson, pastor at Glory of Christ Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Mark 14:1-11. The events of Holy Week now turn to focus on the Passover. This is not only the Passover Jesus celebrates with His disciples; this is the Passover that Jesus accomplishes for His disciples and for the world in fulfillment of everything the Old Testament has spoken. Though the religious leaders in Jerusalem plot to kill Jesus, it is the Father’s will at work to accomplish the salvation of sinners. The woman who anoints Jesus in Bethany portrays in action what Jesus has been teaching His disciples. She anoints Him for His burial beforehand, confessing the true importance of all that Jesus wins by His suffering, death, burial, and resurrection. Though Jesus’ own disciples do not discern the time, misled in their concern for economic matters, this woman recognizes the true worth of who Jesus is and what He has come to do. “The Gospel in Action” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron t
