Worship
We worship what we love. Mary poured the equivalent of $100,000 worth of perfume all over Jesus’ feet. There was no cost too high, she didn’t consider the financial implications - she just had to show Jesus how much he meant to her, and she did so in a lavish, unforgettable way - in a way that Jesus said would be remembered through the ages. Mary didn’t consider what other people would think, her act of worship was done for Jesus’ sake alone - she was focused on her audience of One, of pouring out what she had in adoration of who he is.

Worship isn’t simply limited to song, though this is an important and large part of many Christians’ experience of worship. Worship can also be through prayer, through service, through silence, through enjoying a sunrise, catching a wave, enjoying a delicious meal and saying ‘Hallelujah!’. It isn’t so much how we worship but that we are able to lead ourselves in worship. What does worshiping Jesus - like Mary did - look like for you? Consider spending time worshiping together with a song from Spotify or Youtube, or go for a walk and marvel at God’s creation. Whatever you do, seek to engage your hearts and minds in the wonder of God - and share it aloud!
Pray
Spend time praying about what you’re learning.
