Pastor John Blackah explores the powerful story of Mary's extravagant worship in Matthew 26 and John 12, asking a challenging question: what does true devotion to Jesus look like?
While Martha served and Lazarus sat at the table, Mary positioned herself at Jesus' feet; the place where she is consistently found throughout the Gospels. When others misunderstood Jesus' words about His death and resurrection, Mary listened. She recognised what was coming and responded with an act of costly worship, pouring expensive perfume on Jesus and preparing Him for burial.
Many around her were outraged. To them, her devotion seemed excessive. But Mary's love for Jesus left nothing held back.
This message challenges us to examine our own hearts. What are we doing to influence the world around us? Have we given Jesus our best, or are there areas of our lives that we continue to withhold from Him?
