She did it out of gratefulness since she hadn&#8217;t only experienced the resurrection of her brother. Jesus has done good many times. Salvation meant so much to her, that she \u201cwasted\u201d everything she had. That angered Judas who sometimes helped himself to funds from the collective money box*. God acts a lot more \u201cwasteful\u201d than Mary by giving his only son to free us from sin and guild. Everyone who trusts Jesus won\u2019t be lost but saved. That\u2019s the most wonderful message of the world. Can anyone decline God\u2019s generous offer? No time or material advantage can be weighed against it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. <\/p><cite>John 3:16b<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How generous are you to your neighbours?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripture of the week: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleserver.com\/NIV\/John12%3A1-9\" target=\"_blank\">John 12:1-9<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tim Keller - The Prodigal God - The Younger Brother\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KEYcvBTKVVM?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was big News!
