Mark 14:6
Jesus rebukes the disciples who agreed with Judas. We don’t know how many did, but it could have been as few as one or two others. He helps them to understand that this woman is doing a good work.
This is actually quite an important teaching. The Jews, including the disciples, thought of good works as things we do to keep the law and to establish our righteousness. Jesus is teaching that good works are not done to secure salvation. Neither are they just done for the sake of obedience. They are done out of a desire to worship. We do good works because the Lord has done so much for us. It is a matter of obedience to be sure, but genuine obedience and love go hand in hand.
Heavenly Father, to worship you is our utmost desire. When we think of what you have done for us, we are overwhelmed. Your mercy, grace, and love are incredible! Give us the breath to praise you. We cannot stop! You’re plan is amazing, and we thank you so much for it! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
