The Gospel of Mark: Treasure Him

As the shadow of the cross draws near, two very different treasures are exposed in this passage. In the darkness, religious leaders and Judas calculate cost and control. In the light, Mary the sister of Martha, pours out what would have been nearly a year’s wages to anoint Jesus. Her extravagant offering wasn’t impulsive; it was deeply personal. She looked at her earthly wealth and decided that expressing her gratitude and joy for Jesus was worth more. The disciples saw waste. Jesus saw worship. They valued the activity of the kingdom, but she treasured the King Himself. And as Jesus received her gift, He revealed His own heart—He was walking toward burial, toward the cross, because His treasure was you. In the end, we all pour our lives out on something. The question is: what do you want to be remembered for?
