Costly Worship

One thing has been true for the entire existence of the Christian Church: we do not value the acts of worship and sacrifice at the level which our Savior does. So much of modern worship, church activity, ministry, and what happens in Christians’ lives is done in tradition and costless routine. Extravagant acts of sacrifice and devotion are often seen as fanatical. Leaving comforts, laying down resources, denying our dignity…these seem rather unreasonable to the average churchgoer. In this episode of Truth Shots, we see how deeply pleased Jesus was with one extremely lavish act of worship. His disciples put a price tag on it, and viewed it as a waste. Jesus swiftly told them that they were 100% wrong in their assessment. May we observe today and learn what costly worship means to the King.
