In this powerful exploration of John 12:1-11, we’re reminded of the profound importance of genuine, sacrificial worship. The story of Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume teaches us that true worship often comes at a cost. We’re challenged to examine our own lives and ask: Are we offering God our best, or merely our leftovers? This message encourages us to shift our perspective, putting God first in all aspects of our lives – our time, resources, and devotion. It’s a call to worship that’s solely focused on Jesus, surpassing our fear of what others might think. We’re reminded that our worship, or lack thereof, affects not only us but those around us, especially our families. This passage invites us to adjust our worship, ensuring that nothing in our lives is elevated above our devotion to Christ.
