WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.580 As you read through these verses, verse 1 to 11, you find Jesus meeting with different people in many different situations, different kinds of people in different situations. 00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:18.600 And how many different kinds of attitudes do you see towards Jesus in these verses? 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:32.820 As you read through them, you see people from different backgrounds, different ways of life, been following Jesus, some of them being in a good way, others have been antagonistic against him. 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.000 You see a number of different attitudes among the people. 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:41.859 And that's something that still exists to this day and always will. 00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:46.420 There's always differing attitudes towards Jesus. 00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:52.679 And we're going to just throw out some of the different attitudes that we see in these verses and think about them. 00:00:53.340 --> 00:01:07.640 But here as we're hearing about the holiday club, we're hearing that the number of children coming in, so many coming from different kinds of backgrounds, different homes, different families, even different faiths as we were hearing. 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:25.439 And it's a blessing and a privilege to be able to share the gospel with them and realizing that there will be differing kinds of attitudes maybe towards what their background is, even what maybe their understanding at the moment is of Jesus. 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:47.359 But what's been so encouraging is seeing them all together and their attitude being one of willingness, of being involved, engaging with it, enjoying it, and listening to what is being said, listening to the talks, listening to the dramas, listening to different leaders, sharing the gospel with them in different ways. 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.700 And then taking that message from them. 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:57.539 An invitation is going out with them in these days to a family service this coming Sunday morning. 00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:07.879 And our prayer is that as the word goes out and as it always goes out in different ways, that attitudes towards Jesus will change. 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.639 We all have different attitudes in life. 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.419 Some things we maybe have the same thoughts towards and other things we may differ. 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.799 You think of foods and different kinds of foods that we have different attitudes towards. 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.060 People often speak of Marmite and you either love it or you hate it. 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.680 I guess the local equivalent of Marmite would be Guga. 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.159 You either love it or you hate it, one or the other. 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:47.799 And although there are areas in life where we may differ in our attitudes towards something, some things, there's one thing that will truly set us apart. 00:02:48.359 --> 00:02:52.120 And that is our attitude towards Jesus. 00:02:53.159 --> 00:03:06.519 And in these verses that we've read, if you're thinking of the kind of attitudes that you're seeing towards Jesus, they probably weigh heavy towards a negative attitude towards Jesus. 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:15.280 And it's not just among those who we would not be surprised that that's their attitude, those who are already antagonistic towards Jesus. 00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:23.020 But you see it even among those who are with Jesus and following Jesus and listening to Jesus. 00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:25.520 And there's a lesson in that for us. 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.920 Always to be on our guard. 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.280 Always to keep ourselves focused on Jesus and in a close relationship with him. 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:43.600 But among these negative attitudes towards Jesus, there's one positive one that stands out in the midst of these verses. 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.000 And that is an attitude of pure love towards Jesus. 00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:57.900 And that's what we see in verses 4 through to verse 9 there. 00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:07.700 When this woman comes with an alabaster flask, a flask of perfume and anoints Jesus with it. 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:14.680 There was an attitude towards her that was very negative from the followers of Jesus. 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:19.740 But Jesus himself says in verse 6, leave her alone. 00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:22.139 Why do you trouble her? 00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:27.100 She has done a beautiful thing for me. 00:04:27.900 --> 00:04:32.840 Then in verse 8, it goes on to say, she has done what she could. 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:37.060 She has given everything for Jesus. 00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:39.780 And it follows on from chapter 12. 00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:44.860 At the end of chapter 12, where you have that short passage about the widow's offering. 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:49.020 There were those who were rich who were giving us, in the eyes of many, what was generous. 00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:52.560 But Jesus saw it differently. 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:57.180 In verse 44, it said, for they all contributed out of their abundance. 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:03.220 But she, out of her poverty, has put in everything she had. 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.720 All she had to live on. 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.240 You see, her attitude there, the widow's offering. 00:05:09.820 --> 00:05:13.200 Her attitude was one of giving everything for Jesus. 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.140 A love for Jesus. 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.080 The same as this woman who anointed him with this perfume. 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:26.979 And so we want to just think about these attitudes towards the Lord Jesus. 00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:32.740 And how we pray attitudes that are hard towards Jesus would change. 00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:37.639 When we think of what Jesus has done for us. 00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.519 When you hear a verse like this. 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:46.560 Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.560 Here we are in this passage, just days before Jesus' death. 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:58.519 Before he gave his life as a ransom for many. 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.480 What would you do if someone gave their life for you? 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:10.680 It happens in everyday life where people put themselves before others in order to save them. 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:16.019 Sometimes it's maybe going into the sea to rescue someone and they lose their life and so doing. 00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:17.519 It happens. 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.740 And if it happens, you've always got a connection towards that person who has given their life for you. 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.660 They've saved you. 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.899 And you owe them so much. 00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:32.560 But do we realize what it is with Jesus? 00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:37.139 Who saved us from the consequence of sin. 00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:43.360 Who saved us so we might have an eternity with him. 00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.839 And what's our attitude when we hear that for ourselves? 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.860 That's what we were looking at today in the holiday club. 00:06:50.919 --> 00:06:55.120 That Jesus gave his life on the cross. 00:06:56.139 --> 00:07:03.139 That these young souls, that their families, that all our communities would hear of his love for his people. 00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:05.479 That he gave his life. 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.439 And that our attitudes would change or be changed towards him. 00:07:11.259 --> 00:07:14.340 So here are some of the attitudes that we see in this passage. 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.340 There's three negative ones. 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:23.460 Before we come to the attitude of this woman who poured out this ointment, this perfume. 00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:25.060 And the first is this. 00:07:25.140 --> 00:07:28.340 There's a hatred towards Jesus among some. 00:07:28.339 --> 00:07:35.259 You keep hearing in the gospel of Mark about the chief priests and the scribes. 00:07:36.299 --> 00:07:39.979 They were always around Jesus, wherever he was going. 00:07:40.819 --> 00:07:43.239 But it wasn't in a positive way. 00:07:43.979 --> 00:07:47.039 They were always trying to catch Jesus out. 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.979 To get him to say something that they could hold him accountable to. 00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:54.220 Something that they could punish him for. 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.080 They were trying to trap him. 00:07:56.140 --> 00:08:03.400 It's almost like you've got one final reminder here of just what kind of attitude they had towards Jesus. 00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:07.020 It was two days before the Passover. 00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:09.200 And the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.240 And look at what it says of the chief priests and the scribes. 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.400 They were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him. 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.220 It's no longer just trying to catch him out. 00:08:21.819 --> 00:08:24.420 They're looking for a way to kill him. 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.199 To get rid of him. 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.740 And why would they have this hatred? 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:36.000 We'll ask ourselves today, why does the world hate Jesus so much? 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.399 Why do we hear Jesus being ridiculed so much in our society? 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.840 Why do we see such venom towards Jesus? 00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:51.919 Because people don't like one who would have authority over them in any way. 00:08:52.819 --> 00:08:56.600 Here, Jesus is a threat to the scribes and the Pharisees. 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.319 To their way of life. 00:08:58.459 --> 00:09:00.019 To their lifestyles. 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.539 Everything that they have in life is under threat because of Jesus. 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.379 Jesus has exposed them. 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.039 That hypocrisy. 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.899 They've claimed to be spiritual and godly men. 00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:15.500 But Jesus has proved otherwise. 00:09:16.339 --> 00:09:19.339 He's shown that they're selfish out for themselves. 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:20.919 For their own gain. 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.319 They're nothing but religious phonies. 00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:27.819 Jesus made a fool of them in front of others. 00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:30.439 And they're not going to stand for this. 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:33.279 This has been the last straw for them. 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.079 Now they're just looking for a way to kill him. 00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:41.600 They're upset that Jesus is affecting their business. 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.919 The religious leaders controlled the temple and everything that happened at the temple. 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:48.720 The commerce. 00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:49.980 The buying and the selling. 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.899 It was all in their hands. 00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:56.899 You remember on occasion Jesus went in and overturned the tables. 00:09:56.899 --> 00:09:59.860 They've turned it into a den of iniquity. 00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:00.519 He says. 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.679 They've just brought everything into disrepute in the temple. 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.360 Because they were charging a fee for the people to sell there. 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.679 For the money changers to be in there. 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.419 And if there was profit made. 00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:15.659 They would take a percentage of the sales. 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.600 They were in it for the money. 00:10:18.459 --> 00:10:21.720 And Jesus is threatening all of that today. 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.759 So they just want rid of him. 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.319 If we ask ourselves today. 00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:28.819 Why do people hate Jesus? 00:10:29.939 --> 00:10:32.059 Because God's word. 00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:32.759 His law. 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.580 Is a threat to them. 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:35.399 It's not something. 00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.679 That's more precious than gold. 00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:39.019 As the psalmist describes. 00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:40.899 It's something they just want to get rid of. 00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:42.980 Because the Bible. 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.759 The word of God. 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.120 Tells us to do things differently. 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.939 So often to what we would want to do. 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.179 Of ourselves. 00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.500 The Bible says. 00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:54.500 The Lord's Day Sunday is a day of rest and worship. 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.240 Well that spoils our weekend plans. 00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:00.879 If we see. 00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:01.860 In the Bible. 00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:03.539 It tells us to love our enemies. 00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:04.399 And to forgive. 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.419 Those who have done wrong against us. 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.340 It goes against what we want for them. 00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:09.700 Naturally in our heart. 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.139 We just want people punished. 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.700 Who have hurt us. 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.480 If the Bible tells us. 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.460 To give to the Lord's cause. 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:17.940 We say. 00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.159 Well. 00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:19.299 How dare they? 00:11:19.299 --> 00:11:20.419 It's my money. 00:11:20.479 --> 00:11:22.339 I can do as I please with it. 00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:24.659 When the Bible tells us. 00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:26.039 That certain things. 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.479 Or certain lifestyles. 00:11:27.479 --> 00:11:27.959 Are wrong. 00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.039 But we enjoy them. 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.219 We get upset. 00:11:30.219 --> 00:11:32.620 Because that's the way we want to live. 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.459 We're not going to listen. 00:11:33.699 --> 00:11:35.139 To the word of God. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.859 And so. 00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:38.319 There is this hatred. 00:11:38.719 --> 00:11:41.000 That arises towards Jesus. 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.340 Jesus interferes. 00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:45.460 Jesus interferes. 00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.840 With our lives. 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:47.440 So much. 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:48.320 That we just want. 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.200 Rid. 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:49.820 Of. 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.440 The scribes. 00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.639 And the Pharisees. 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.340 Even though they've heard. 00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.000 And seen. 00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:57.200 The good things. 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.360 That Jesus was doing. 00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.899 They've heard. 00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:00.779 His teaching. 00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.779 Towards them. 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:02.259 No. 00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.299 They want. 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:04.779 Rid. 00:12:05.179 --> 00:12:05.440 Of. 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:05.600 Him. 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.399 And so that's the kind of attitudes. 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.620 That we see to this day. 00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:10.560 This well attitudes. 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.179 All around us here. 00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:13.000 In our own town. 00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:14.379 There's people who just have this. 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.240 Hatred. 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:16.720 Towards the gospel. 00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:17.860 Towards Jesus. 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.799 So we pray. 00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:21.720 That God will transform. 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.720 That the gospel will come in. 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.120 And melt these hearts. 00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.159 Hearts that are so angry. 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:29.679 Towards Jesus. 00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:33.259 We also see an attitude. 00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:35.899 Among those who are already with Jesus. 00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:36.940 Those who are following. 00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:38.100 Jesus. 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.340 His own disciples. 00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:40.940 Were in the midst of this crowd. 00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:41.259 That we. 00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.399 Read of. 00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:43.420 That were in Bethany. 00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:45.480 In the house of Simon the leper. 00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:47.360 He was here reclining. 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.100 At the table. 00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:52.700 And we see a wrong attitude. 00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:53.780 Is not confined. 00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:55.139 To those who are openly. 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.639 Against Jesus. 00:12:57.800 --> 00:12:59.340 Even Jesus's followers. 00:12:59.340 --> 00:13:00.980 Can have this wrong attitude. 00:13:01.379 --> 00:13:03.180 It's almost like it's a half-hearted. 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.220 Love towards Jesus. 00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:05.780 They're not. 00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:07.259 They're not all in. 00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:07.340 Perfume. 00:13:08.939 --> 00:13:10.379 And you see that. 00:13:10.439 --> 00:13:11.279 In the way they react. 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.980 To this woman. 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:13.679 Pouring out the perfume. 00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:14.899 On Jesus. 00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:15.879 This costly. 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:16.939 Perfume. 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:18.519 How would you feel. 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.039 If someone. 00:13:19.580 --> 00:13:20.519 Came into your house. 00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:21.639 Picked up your favorite. 00:13:21.819 --> 00:13:23.120 Perfume or aftershave. 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.399 And just started. 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.240 Scattering it all over the house. 00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:27.480 You've paid. 00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.919 Maybe good money for that. 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.139 And they're just wasting it. 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:31.159 Just so the place. 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.360 Will smell nice. 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.440 Well when you look at this. 00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:37.000 Incident here. 00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:39.800 Not everyone appreciates. 00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:41.180 What the woman is doing. 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.680 Not everyone thinks. 00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:45.980 The Lord is worthy of this. 00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.980 Almost you would say. 00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:48.639 Because again. 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.379 There's this thing that comes between. 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.060 The Lord and ourselves. 00:13:52.060 --> 00:13:53.340 And it's this idea that. 00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:54.580 Hold on a minute. 00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:56.500 We could have got money out of this. 00:13:57.300 --> 00:13:58.639 This was an expensive. 00:13:59.039 --> 00:13:59.879 Perfume. 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.279 We could have. 00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:04.240 It's worth a year's wage. 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.159 As we understand. 00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:05.899 When you hear. 00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.340 The Psalms spoken. 00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:08.340 About 300. 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.200 Denarii. 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:09.539 That was. 00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:11.259 Denarii was a day's wage. 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.960 So you're nearly a year's wage. 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:13.240 Here. 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:13.620 Imagine. 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.799 Spending that money on a perfume. 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.679 In the first place. 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:18.320 Very often it would be done. 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.059 For burial anointing. 00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:21.820 But then to just. 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:23.460 Pour it out in this way. 00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:24.139 Just seemed. 00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.759 So extravagant. 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.539 And that's this idea. 00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.620 That following Jesus. 00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.320 Is fine. 00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:32.200 Up to a point. 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.360 When things are comfortable. 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.379 For us. 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.940 We're okay. 00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:40.019 But extravagant. 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.440 Worship. 00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:41.060 And going. 00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:42.320 The extra mile. 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.240 Things just become more complicated. 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.560 Then. 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.600 And our hearts. 00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:46.440 Not fully. 00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:47.440 In it. 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.720 In the Gospel of Mark. 00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:50.200 You see. 00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:51.639 The rich young ruler. 00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:52.539 Who was challenged. 00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:53.960 To sell all that he had. 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.080 And follow Jesus. 00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:57.139 But because he was rich. 00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.600 He went away sad. 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.820 Because he couldn't give it up. 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.500 Following Jesus. 00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:04.580 Was too. 00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:05.779 Difficult. 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:09.100 And when we see. 00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:10.200 People around us. 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.120 And even ourselves. 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:12.019 That's always a danger. 00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.820 Of just enjoying. 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.680 Jesus for a time. 00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:16.960 We can enjoy. 00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:18.259 Like we see in the holiday club. 00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:19.480 We can enjoy things. 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.379 Together in our comfort zone. 00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:22.000 For a week. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.720 But our prayer should be. 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.879 That as the young ones. 00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:26.360 As their families go on. 00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.600 Week after week. 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.039 Month after month. 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:30.700 Living in our communities. 00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.759 Living in the difficulties. 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.720 Of the society we face today. 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.899 That they would be bold. 00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:38.059 To stand up for Christ. 00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:40.139 To put their trust. 00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:41.320 In him. 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.759 And to see that what. 00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.580 Jesus has done. 00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:47.600 For us. 00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:48.539 Deserves. 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:50.039 Our all. 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.259 When you consider. 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.319 What God has given to us. 00:15:54.819 --> 00:15:56.099 In Jesus Christ. 00:15:56.219 --> 00:15:57.740 You read in 1 John 3. 00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.360 Verse 1. 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.120 How great is the love. 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.819 The father. 00:16:01.459 --> 00:16:02.599 Has lavished. 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.000 On us. 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.059 That we should be called. 00:16:06.539 --> 00:16:07.860 The children of God. 00:16:08.319 --> 00:16:09.159 Lavished means. 00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:10.759 Nothing spared. 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.299 Nothing held back. 00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:14.919 And yet. 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.279 Our attitude is one of. 00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:17.319 Holding back. 00:16:17.939 --> 00:16:19.399 Of not giving everything. 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.779 For him. 00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:23.019 It can apply. 00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:24.840 In so many ways. 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.980 Of our lives. 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.379 But how do we want. 00:16:28.459 --> 00:16:29.279 To be remembered. 00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:31.019 This woman. 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:31.939 It says that. 00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:33.439 Wherever the gospel. 00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:34.259 Is proclaimed. 00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:35.600 In the whole world. 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.259 What she has done. 00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:38.079 Will be told. 00:16:38.319 --> 00:16:39.639 In memory of her. 00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:42.139 And it still is. 00:16:42.199 --> 00:16:43.179 And always will be. 00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:44.939 Until the Lord's return. 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.819 We will speak of this woman. 00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:48.519 Who gave everything. 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.600 But what of us. 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:51.960 How will we be remembered. 00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:54.240 As fully committed. 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.000 To the Lord. 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:57.899 Or as just half-hearted. 00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:59.199 Followers. 00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:00.879 I read once. 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.500 A comment. 00:17:01.939 --> 00:17:02.600 Of someone. 00:17:02.819 --> 00:17:03.439 Who had been. 00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.700 Walking around. 00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.420 A graveyard. 00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.559 In England. 00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.160 Once. 00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.900 Many years ago. 00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:11.000 But he noticed. 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.740 Two gravestones. 00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.580 And just how. 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:14.600 Different. 00:17:14.860 --> 00:17:15.420 They were. 00:17:16.620 --> 00:17:17.780 One gravestone. 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.640 Said this. 00:17:20.100 --> 00:17:21.019 Here lies. 00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:21.759 A miser. 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.680 Who lived. 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.740 For himself. 00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.360 He cared. 00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:26.160 For nothing. 00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.580 But gathering. 00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:28.240 Pelf. 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.820 An old word. 00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:30.400 For money. 00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:32.620 Now where he is. 00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:33.920 Or how he fares. 00:17:34.540 --> 00:17:35.700 Nobody knows. 00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:37.380 And nobody cares. 00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:40.100 Such a sad. 00:17:41.780 --> 00:17:43.160 Reminder of our life. 00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:44.820 Obviously lived. 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.340 In not the best way. 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.120 Then he noticed. 00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:49.140 Another gravestone. 00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:49.980 And said this. 00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:52.180 Sacred to the memory. 00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:53.540 Of Charles Gordon. 00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:55.180 Who at all times. 00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:55.760 And everywhere. 00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:56.880 Gave his strength. 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.620 To the weak. 00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:58.780 His substance. 00:17:58.780 --> 00:17:59.620 To the poor. 00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:00.840 His sympathy. 00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:01.740 To the suffering. 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.200 And his heart. 00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:04.060 To God. 00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:06.759 What a difference. 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:08.759 What a contrast. 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.899 And what is your attitude. 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.579 Like in that. 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.179 Are we half-hearted. 00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:16.379 Or are we all in. 00:18:16.919 --> 00:18:17.639 For the Lord. 00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:20.139 So another attitude. 00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:20.839 We see here. 00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:21.679 In a negative way. 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:22.099 As well. 00:18:22.179 --> 00:18:23.099 And that's of Judas. 00:18:23.679 --> 00:18:24.399 Iscariot. 00:18:26.399 --> 00:18:26.799 Threat. 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.200 Shirey. 00:18:27.639 --> 00:18:28.740 Towards Jesus. 00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:30.799 The danger. 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.160 Of half-hearted love. 00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.579 Is that it becomes. 00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:34.460 So hard. 00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:36.160 And so cold. 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.440 That we end up. 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:38.160 Just turning. 00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.660 Away from Jesus. 00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:40.519 Completely. 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:42.200 It wasn't enough. 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:42.559 For him. 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.339 To complain. 00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.519 About the pouring. 00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:45.480 Out of the ointment. 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.220 In such an extravagant way. 00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:48.779 He turned. 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:49.680 Completely. 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:51.079 Against the Lord. 00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:52.599 He went to the chief priests. 00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:53.859 To betray. 00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:55.019 Jesus. 00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.200 It's one of the saddest. 00:18:58.740 --> 00:18:59.500 Accounts. 00:18:59.620 --> 00:19:00.220 In scripture. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.600 In these few verses. 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.600 Just two verses. 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.180 Here. 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:06.960 You read at the end of them. 00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:08.420 He sought an opportunity. 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.340 To betray him. 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:13.580 How sad. 00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.200 Is that. 00:19:16.860 --> 00:19:18.039 Turned his back. 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:19.519 Completely. 00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:20.759 On the Lord. 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.580 Our prayer is. 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.640 That there will be no one. 00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:25.440 Who would end up. 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:26.640 Like that. 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.120 But sadly. 00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:29.960 It happens. 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.340 There's a darkness. 00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:34.259 In our world. 00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:36.380 That we need to pray. 00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:37.299 Against. 00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:39.240 Treachery. 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.340 Towards Jesus. 00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:43.039 He just turned. 00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:44.299 His back. 00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:44.759 On him. 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.120 But there's one other attitude. 00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.360 As I mentioned here. 00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:51.279 And that's the attitude. 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:52.480 We should long for. 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.400 In all of our hearts. 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.840 This attitude. 00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:56.580 Of the woman. 00:19:56.940 --> 00:19:58.320 Who gave everything. 00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.400 For Jesus. 00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:01.500 Who anointed him. 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:02.660 With this costly.

Didn't. 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.580 And he said to her. 00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.640 There in verse six. 00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:21.380 Leave her alone. 00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.100 Why do you
