Giving Him Your All?

Matthew 26:7 "There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat at meat".

Jesus once said  with our lips we do honor Him , but our hearts are far from Him. Are giving Jesus the best in our worship? What are you willing to sacrifice to the Lord in worship? Many profess that Christ is the head of their life, many say that Jesus is all that they need, yet when it come right down to it, there are things and people in our lives that keeps us from giving our best in our worship of the Lord.

In our story Jesus is at the house of Simon the leper when a woman came and anointed His head with a very expensive ointment in a form of worship. When the disciples saw it they thought the ointment would have better served if sold and the money given to the poor. Jesus tells them that she has done a good work that should be a memorial unto her where ever the gospel is preached. We should know that Jesus wants the all we have and the best we have when lifting up Him in worship.There should be nothing in our life that we feel is to valuable or important to sacrifice that we can give the lord our all in worship. Jesus surrender all for our salvation and we should be willing to give Him our all in our worship of Him, for He is worthy.

We often give more and sacrifice more to the idols, and material treasures and pleasure of this world than we do Jesus. If He is truly first and foremost in your life there should be nothing we have that we just let hinder us from giving our all to the Lord in our worship of Him. After all He gave up everything for us, even His life.
