Passage: Mark
14:1~9
Keyverse: 6
1. Pharisees' evil scheme (1-2)
The Passover and the feast of Unleavened
bread were just two days away. God's enemies were scheming to arrest Jesus
secretly and to kill him. But God will even use all their evil schemes to
fulfill God's plan. Jesus will be the Pascal Lamb and the Unleavened bread from
heaven on Passover. Neither Satan nor any smart men can outwit God. God is in
control. He is Sovereign even in today's chaotic world.
2. The woman's broken jar and Jesus' broken
body (3-9)
A woman's sudden action of breaking an
alabaster jar and pouring very expensive perfume on Jesus caused some to rebuke
her severely. But Jesus used it to reveal how his body would be broken and his
blood would be poured out as the Pascal Lamb for the forgiveness of our sins.
Therefore, though we should help the poor always, we must first give thanks to
Jesus even breaking our best alabaster jar and pouring our most precious life
on Jesus. It is never a waste. Truly such a wholehearted devotion to Jesus
would be remembered as the most beautiful thing done throughout history.
Prayer: O Sovereign Lord, let me break my expensive jar and pour
myself wholly on you. Still, I know that will be too small compared to what you
have done to me!
One Word: Give thanks to Jesus with the most precious things!
