If tables could talk, what stories would they tell? In Mark 14, we find two powerful scenes at two very different tables. The first table is at Simon the leper’s house, where a woman’s extravagant act of worship stuns everyone as she pours expensive perfume over Jesus. The second table is the Last Supper, where Jesus offers His body and blood to His disciples, even while betrayal brews in the room. These tables show both sacrificial worship and heartbreaking betrayal, and they both invite us to give, sacrifice, and receive the grace Jesus offers.

Stop Taking the Bait
Temptation is persistent. But so is God’s faithfulness. He always leaves a door open — and the people who endure are the ones who take it.
