Day 24 - Mark 14:1-9
Love for Jesus
How can I lavishly love on Jesus?
A few days before Jesus goes to trial and crucifixion, while at dinner at a friend's house, a woman comes in and pours expensive perfume over Jesus' head.
Note the contrast. He's having dinner at Simon's home. Simon was formerly a leper, rejected by everyone. But in comes a beautiful, wealthy woman who likely had status and needed nothing. Yet both of them are transformed by their love for Jesus.
But the other dinner guests are so focused on their perception of what a disciple of the Messiah should be, that they object to the “wastefulness” of something that could have been cashed in on to help the poor.
We can become so easily blinded by our beliefs and motives in serving the Lord, that we miss the central focus of our attention … Jesus, the God-man, Savior and Lord over all!
What can you do today to keep the main thing the main thing and lavishly love on Jesus?
