Subject: being a scrifice to God - fragrant |
Bible Note: Mary broke the vase of fragrant perfume (which was a years wage for her) and poured it on Jesus's head and annointed him which shows she loved him with everything ,and that vase resembles any individual and we need to break ourselves and pour ourselves completely so that he is glorified and the aroma comes from our lives after total surender to him just as the aroma was sealed till the vase was broken. and We are called to be "living sacrifices to the lord",think about it sacrifices are dead and clean animals on the altar of god,but we have been called to be "LIVING SACRIFICES" which means we tend to crawl out (because we are living )off the altar too often and Gods word asks us to die to ourselves so that we have complete surrender. |
