Wholehearted Devotion (Westmont)

 (ID: 3015)

In Mark 14, we meet a woman who poured an expensive jar of perfume on Jesus’ head in an act of extravagant worship. Some observers were angered by what they considered a wasteful misuse of resources—but Jesus determined that it was an act of humble devotion. Alistair Begg reminds us that while such devotion to serve Jesus is often met with the displeasure of friends, it is ultimately God’s judgment that should concern us.
