A Beautiful Thing: Anointing at Bethany
Weekly Devotional 3.3.2025
“But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3:7-8
Mary, Lazarus’s sister, used an expensive oil to honor Jesus as their guest, anointed Him, and prepared Him for burial. Though the disciples could not understand why she would use the rare oil this way, this humble servant gave her best for the sake of Christ. What do you value more than Jesus? Would you give that up to serve Jesus in faith and obedience? Reflect on how you can be a humble servant and give Jesus your best as a way to serve and honor Him. Lower yourself so that Jesus may be lifted up. Humble yourself so that He is exalted.
