Good Morning,
Of all things we have a light drizzle making the sidewalk wet today. Two weeks ago that would have been snow falling. The old house was cold and damp this morning. The wood crackling in the fireplace is cutting through the cold as I write. My Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee is warming my insides and it feels good.
I want to talk about our love for Jesus. It is a simple fact that we can never repay Jesus for His great love for us. How can you ever repay the love that sent Jesus to the cross for our sins? But we can tell Him about our love and thankfulness we have. That is a very plain answer but it is the truth. We can speak our love and thankfulness. In addition we can express our love for Him in actions that show and tell Him " I love you". Mary worshipped Jesus with unsparing love. She expressed her love by the extravagance of her expensive gift to Him. She did not do it to receive a favorable standing from Him. She did it with pure sincere love. Jesus will never love us more than He did yesterday or today. He will love us the same.
John 12:3 Mary took a twelve ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus' feet with it wiping His feet with her hair.
Some people express their love by working hard, serving in His church, others by soulful worship, uplifting music or some special work for others. If you feel you need to show your love for Christ. Do it now, and do it big. Don't count the cost.
Just a little message for a Sunday and a good way to start March.
Marty
