    Mary's act of devotion was costly but it was worth the price because costly devotion gets recognized, it gets remembered and it gets rewarded.

    COSTLY DEVOTION John 12:1-11 1) Costly devotion is sacrificial (1-3). Weird word isn’t it-‘nard’. Doesn’t sound very expensive, does it? Sounds too close to lard. “Hey, honey, look what I bought for you; this perfume called Nard! I got you a whole pint of it!” ...read more

    Abraham faced the greatest trial of his life when God asked him to sacrifice the child of promise. From it, we learn that God tests our faith, grows our faith, and models sacrifice as the Heavenly Father gives his only Son for us.
