Woman’s Memorial

In this sermon, Spurgeon tells the story of a woman who showed great love for Jesus by breaking a very expensive jar of perfume and pouring it on His head. Other people complained that she wasted money, but Jesus said her act would be remembered forever. Spurgeon explains that what made her action special was that she did it from her heart, without worrying about what others thought, and she did it only for Jesus, not for attention or praise. He encourages people to serve Jesus with the same kind of love — doing good things not because they “have to,” but because they truly want to, even if others don’t understand. The woman’s gift shows that real love for Jesus is willing to give its best, even when it seems unusual or costly.Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on November 27th, 1859.
