Costly Worship

from CrossTalk at the Kroc · host The Salvation Army of Augusta, GA

In this Holy Week devotional for Wednesday, we reflect on the powerful moment when a woman anoints Jesus with an alabaster jar of costly perfume. While others call it wasteful, Jesus calls it beautiful—revealing the difference between convenient religion and true worship. This episode challenges us to consider what it looks like to offer Christ something costly, not to earn salvation, but as a response to His love. As we move closer to the cross, we’re reminded that extravagant devotion is never wasted when it’s poured out on Jesus.
