True Devotion to Christ
John 12:1 - 11
10 July 2022
Our devotion is demonstrated in where we spend our time, money, and talents. We see the perfect example of Mary considering Christ above all, giving Him an invaluable possession of hers.
True devotion is wholehearted. It always begins with an understanding of who Jesus is, and a deep gratefulness for what He has done. Mary gave an immensely valuable ointment to anoint Jesus with, which was probably part of her inheritance. She considered wealth far less valuable than her Saviour.
True devotion doesn't care about personal gain. Judas objected to Mary's sacrifice because he wanted to steal some of the proceeds. But it is never a loss to sacrifice what we have for Jesus Christ.
