What value ?
I have read Matt 26 many times as you all no doubt have... but in reading it once again I believe The Holy Spirit showed me something I had not seen before in this scripture.
The passage I am refering to is the one where Mary is anointing the feet of The Lord with expensive perfume. Those observing this had remarked that this perfume was of great worth and could have been sold and the money given to the poor. The Lord knew what was really in their hearts...and it wasnt concern for the poor!!
Having read this I immed thought.... how could they place value...in terms of money on The Lord.......what a nasty bunch of people they must have been.
Then I began to relate this to my own walk and asked myself ...what value do I place on The Lord Jesus. Do I at all times afford Him His rightful place in my heart and life? Do I sometimes spend my too much of my lesiure time (brief though it is) on doing my own thing. Now I know we all need time to winde down but I think you all will know what I mean. Have I got my priorities in order?? Is He of great value to me?
After all The Father gave the very best heaven could give when He sent The Lord Jesus to pay for our sins.. it wasnt by the blood of an animal but His own precious Son....He has placed a great value on each one of us. Yes I am definately taking stock of my life.
