Pour It Out
This powerful message takes us deep into John 12:3, where Mary anoints Jesus' feet with expensive perfume worth a year's salary. The central revelation here is profound: generosity isn't primarily a financial decision—it's a heart condition. We're challenged to examine whether our love for God remains invisible and therefore unproven, or whether it leaks out in tangible, sacrificial ways. The perfume filling the house becomes a beautiful metaphor for how authentic worship changes atmospheres before it changes circumstances. Mary didn't calculate or conserve; she poured out everything because she remembered what Jesus had done for her brother Lazarus. This story confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: spiritual amnesia is one of the greatest assassins of generosity. When we forget God's grace, we start protecting what He gave us as if it belongs to us. The message calls us beyond convenient Christianity to costly discipleship, reminding us that if our worship never makes us uncomfortable, it may not be true worship at all. We're invited to become people who smell like the sacrifices we've made—whose generosity creates a fragrance that outlives the moment and becomes a legacy for generations to breathe.
