First Priority!

Mark 14: 9

“I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

 

Do you know what extravagant worship looks like?

It looks like this—that we give everything we have, with no regard to cost, that in turn richly blesses the Lord.

 

With some of the statistics I shared last week, that kind of worship is not seen very often in the church anymore.

Jesus said that this woman’s testimony, would be shared in her memory—and so it is today.

 

Mary knew of no other way to repay Jesus, for the forgiveness of her sins.

All she had to give—she rendered to the Lord Jesus.

A bottle of perfume, that was worth a full years wages.

 

Jesus should always be our first priority, when we come before Him in worship.

Without Him, we have nothing and are nothing.

 

How I long to worship Jesus, just as Mary did—but something always seems to get in the way.

Maybe it’s my pride…

 

“Father God…Forgive us for not giving you our whole hearts and our whole lives.  Our intentions sometimes seem good, but our lives and our actions often fail our intentions.  

You are our all in all.  Help us to worship You more fully and completely, and help us to realize what it really meant to give Your life for us.  

Take our lives and sacrifices, to be a sweet fragrance to You.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.”
