—Mark 14:1-9
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
Extravagant acts of love can be very hard to accept. This act, spilling perfume worth nearly a year's wages over the head of Jesus, was one that made several onlookers uneasy. They considered the use a waste and wondered about other more important uses.
Jesus was ready and willing to accept this extravagant act of love. He considered it an anointing in preparation for his burial. That burial was the result of his own extravagant act of love-sacrificing his life for yours. Are you accepting God's gift of extravagance?
