Grateful or Self-Interested? | The Dinner After Lazarus Was Raised | John Giftah | Christian Sermon

It was a moment of gratitude and recognition for what the Lord had done.But in the very same chapter, another scene unfolds.Mary pours an expensive perfume on JESUS as an act of worship. Judas immediately complains about the cost. Interestingly, he didn’t complain about the feast they were all enjoying — but he objected when an act of devotion didn’t benefit him personally.This episode explores a challenging question for believers:Do we honor GOD only when we benefit from it?Or are we willing to worship and honor Him even when there is nothing in it for us?This message will help you:• Reflect on your gratitude after receiving blessings• Examine the motives behind your worship• Understand the difference between genuine devotion and self-interest• Learn to honor JESUS beyond personal benefitMiracles should lead to worship — not forgetfulness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fuel-for-the-soul-with-john-giftah-biblical-teaching-faith-podcast--4939473/support.This episode is part of Fuel for the Soul with John Giftah, a leading Christian podcast featuring Christian sermons, Christian motivational messages, Christian inspirational sermons, and Christian interviews to help you grow in faith, purpose, and everyday life.📚 Get My Bestselling BookUNVEIL YOUR PURPOSE (Amazon #1 Bestseller)🇮🇳 Indiahttps://www.amazon.in/UNVEIL-YOUR-PURPOSE-John-Giftah/dp/B08K2CJKP2/🌍 Globalhttps://www.amazon.com/Unveil-Your-Purpose-Complete-Created-ebook/dp/B08L7XX9PJ/🌍 Stay ConnectedYouTube (Christian sermons & inspirational messages)https://www.youtube.com/johngiftahInstagram (Daily Christian encouragement)https://www.instagram.com/johngiftahFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/sjohngiftah/Websitehttps://www.johngiftah.com/❤️ Support the MinistryIf this Christian sermon or message blessed you:• Share with someone• Rate & Review the podcast• Help spread the message of hopeSupport financially:https://paypal.me/johngiftahThis Christian podcast episode shares biblical teaching, Christian motivation, and inspirational Christian sermon content to help you grow spiritually and discover your purpose.#JohnGiftah #ChristianPodcast #ChristianMotivation #GodsWord #JohnGiftahPodcast
