no wake you up to how
wonderful he is and how much of that
Adoration. Affection. Longing. Love.
Do these words reflect your relationship with Christ?
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
This woman realized what we all need to realize, she realized the significance of Jesus death. She realized the purpose of her life is to pour out her heart in sacrificial, selfless, satisfying devotion to Christ.
Ask the question why does this woman do this? Why does this woman risk her reputation and pour out what was likely her most prized possession? The answer is simple yet profound. Why does she do it? Because she believes Jesus is worth it. Why does she take the risk? Because she knows that Jesus is her reward.
