Worth It All Now & Forever
In this powerful message, we examine the story of Mary anointing Jesus with costly perfume, found in Mark 14. This act of extravagant devotion challenges us to examine our own commitment to Christ. Are we willing to give our best, our all, to Jesus? Mary's sacrifice teaches us that true worship often comes at a cost, but it's always worth it in God's eyes. The criticism she faced reminds us that following Jesus wholeheartedly may invite opposition, even from fellow believers. Yet, we're encouraged to keep our focus on pleasing God rather than people. This story beautifully illustrates that our acts of love and devotion to Christ can leave a lasting legacy, impacting generations to come. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: What will be our 'alabaster jar' offering to Jesus? How can we demonstrate our love for Him in ways that might seem foolish to the world but precious to God?
