While he was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head. But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this perfume been wasted? For this perfume might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her. Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for me
Mark 14
How much is worship worth? What is the purpose of our lives? “Oh, you’re wasting your money giving to ‘X’… I can’t believe that church spent… they should have given to this organization/cause…” Be careful who you sound like. When we complain about how others use their resources as an act of service for the kingdom, we sound more like Judas than Jesus. If it’s their money, it’s their business (literally). Should we be good stewards of the resources the Lord has blessed us with? Yes. It’s impossible to out-give God, so investing in the kingdom is never a waste. Worship is worth it.
