TOPIC : THE POWER OF SACRIFICE
TEXT : MATTHEW 26 : 6-9
[6]Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
[7]There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
[8]But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
[9]For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
Mary bought a box of Alabaster oil to anoint Jesus with.
What is the cost of that box of Alabaster oil?
Alabaster oil is gotten from a tree that grow top of mount Himalayas.
That box was a man's one year's salary.
It's present value was put at about $54,500.
Beloved, this is indeed a huge sacrifice.
Are you still shying away from doing God's work?
I pray that Jehovah will move you to the sacrificial dimension of the christian life.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
