“Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” Mark 14:9
We may assume that our expressions of devotion to God are small and insignificant but in God’s eyes they hold great value. Our love and dedication to Christ create memorials to God for further generations.
This woman performed an act of love for Jesus. She did not do it to impress Jesus’ disciples or to gain praise from Jesus. She simply sought to express her love for Jesus. She did not do anything spectacular but Jesus was so moved by her selfless loyalty that He said this is worthy of remembrance from now on. We don’t know what acts of love He may choose to honor through our lives. Abraham could not have known his willingness to sacrifice his son would be memorialized. David would not have known that his walk with God, his example, would bless generations to follow.
God can take your faithfulness and begin a spiritual legacy and make it a blessing for others for years to come. This is why it is important that each and every day we express our love and devotion to Jesus.
God Bless, Pastor Rick
