THE OUTPOURING - The Beautiful Aroma of Sacrifice (3/23/25)

The Outpouring - "The Beautiful Aroma of Sacrifice" - Mark 14:1-9

A favorite story of "pouring out" is the woman who anointed the feet of Jesus with her tears and the expensive perfume. while others called it "wasteful" and perhaps others were calculating how such an extravagant gift could have been consumed upon their own desires, Luke picks up on the beautiful word picture of the sweet aroma of wild abandon. This is what a commitment looks like. It is aspirational; it is without limit. Did she go to that dinner thinking she would use some of it, maybe a little bit? It would have been enough, but in the beauty of the moment in the presence of her Lord - overcome with love - she poured it ALL OUT. Will you? Will we?
