Thoughts from John 12:1-10

Okay, so I saw a tweet from somebody I follow that was about some reading they they were doing for lent. Well, I wasn't really raised with any kind of "lent" tradition. The most I ever even thought about lent was from some of my RC friends who would give up candy or something and not eat meat before Easter. But I decided to see if there was a lent reading plan on my Bible app. Today it had me read John 12:1-10. It's the story of Jesus going Lazarus' about a week before Passover and Mary washing His feet with perfume and wiping them with her hair. Then of course Judas made a big deal about how they could have sold the expensive perfume andf given the money to the poor. Jesus rebuked Judas saying it was intended for His burial. I think whoever put this reading plan together expected the readers to focus on that. But something else struck me when I read the final few verses from The Message. "Word got out amoung the Jews that He was back in town, The people came to take a look, not only at Jesus but also at Lazarus, who had been raised from the dead. So the high priests plotted to kill Lazarus because so many of the Jews were going over and believing in Jesus on account of him." vs 9-11 Now for the things I am pondering. Have not I been raised from the dead? And shouldn't that miracle of new life in me draw people to take a look? Is the evidence of Christ in my life turning crowds to believing in Jesus on account of me just like Lazarus' life did? And shouldn't my life as a believer so threaten the enemy that he would seek to plot ways to get rid of me? And Lazarus wasn't really "doing" anything here. He was just hosting Jesus and living his life. He wasn't trying to be the center of attention or make a specticle of himself. He just was living as evidence of the power of Jesus in his life. But even just that "being" threatened the darkness. Is my life something that quietly, yet powerfully projects the power of Christ's life in me or am I no threat at all because I reflect the culture of this world as if I haven't been raised in newness? Oh to be more Lazrus like.
