Jesus Anointed

John 12

Left page features an artistic depiction of Mary anointing Jesus with perfume, accompanied by biblical quotes from John and Matthew.

We can choose, like Mary, to honor God and share our love for Him. Sharing our love for Jesus is like a sweet smell wafting through the air.

Preparation: Have some little containers like the old negative canisters or spice bottles with paper wrapped around them to hide what is inside. Inside place different smelly objects like orange peels, cut garlic cloves, a cotton ball with vanilla on it, etc. Take into consideration your children’s allergies.

This lesson includes one of the Savior Souvenirs — a small perfume bottle. I found small bottles at the Dollar Tree. I put some glitter glue (with perfume mixed in) in them to represent the perfume.

Jesus Anointed With Perfume and Tears

Luke 7:44-50

An illustrated scene depicting a biblical story featuring a woman washing Jesus' feet, with characters seated around her. The right side contains text from two Bible verses and playful graphics related to spreading kindness and knowledge.

How is perfume made? Take the smell challenge; What is that smell? Why was Jesus anointed? How can we be like sweet smelling perfume? These questions and more are answered in this presentation. Kids enjoy using their senses of smell and making something sweet smelling to give to someone as they share God’s love.
