EXTRAVAGANT LOVE

Matthew 26:6-13

“Extravagant.” “Over The Top.” Totally in character for her”, the disciples around the table might have thought. This woman did not follow convention. She didn’t care that the men in the room were watching or what they thought. She just acted, and as a result, she is remembered to this day.

This story continues to be an example of extravagant love. Mary of Bethany poured out her expensive perfume from an alabaster jar, anointing Jesus with her love. Most likely, she gave the Lord the most valuable thing she possessed. Though others criticized her, Jesus praised her for her extravagant expression of love for him.

Whether your most precious possession is your time, your money, your gifts or talent? When you give your best to Jesus, he will accept your offering of extravagant love with joy.

Mother Teresa says…..”We can do no great things – only small things with great love.
