I Exam Part 2

WHY?

Why is the question that can often cause people to quit!

Why is the question that can often cause people to continue!

Mark 14

3 - Jesus was eating in Bethany at the home of Simon, who once had leprosy, when a woman came in with a very expensive bottle of sweet-smelling perfume.  After breaking it open, she poured the perfume on Jesus' head.

4 - This made some of the guest angry, and they complained, "Why such a waste?"

Luke 7

37 - There was a sinful woman in that town.  She knew that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house.  So the woman brought some expensive perfume in an alabaster jar.

38 - She stood at Jesus' feet, crying.  Then she began to wash his feet with her tears.  She dried his feet with her hair.  She kissed his feet many times and rubbed hem with the perfume.

41 - Jesus said, "There were two men.  Both men owed money to the same banker.  One man owed him 500 silver coins.  The other man owed him 50 silver coins.

42 - The men had no money, so they could not pay their debt.  But the banker told the men that they did not have to pay him.  Which one of those two men will love him more? 

43 - Simon answered, "I think it would be the one who owed him the most money."  Jesus said to him, "You are right."

44 - Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman?  When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet.  But she washed my feet with her tears and dried my feet with her hair.

45 - You did not greet me with a kiss, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in.

Why such a waste?

How determined are you to get to Jesus?

My worship is birthed from my experience and NOT only from my education!

Once upon a time...

Why? Why am I not?

My perfume doesn't have a price-tag!
