NOTHING IS MORE VALUABLE THAN GOD

“And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.” - Mark 14:3 KJV

The woman in this scripture passage demonstrated that Jesus was more valuable to her than the very expensive ointment.

Let us observe how some people react when they see you go all out for Christ. “And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.” - Mark 14:4-8 KJV

Jesus was instructing them to leave her alone. She had seen what they did not see. She looked beyond the physical and recognized Jesus as her Saviour, the One who would pay the price for her redemption. When you truly see the Lord, you will pour out your heart and resources without hesitation.

Abraham also exemplified this attitude. The book of Genesis 22:1-3 states: “And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here I am. And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, …and went unto the place which God had told him.” - KJV

Abraham was ready to sacrifice his only child because nothing was more valuable to him than God Himself.
