Read: Mark 14:1-9
Are You a Sacrificial Giver?
Our God is a matchless giver!!! He gave his only son.
The woman in our Bible passage for this day broke an expensive bottle of costly ointment, nard (oil) and poured it on Jesus - members of the household of faith - that is sacrificial giving! However some of the people present at the time considered it a waste. They said that the oil should have been sold and the money given to the poor. Beloved, do not let such people pull you back from your service to God. Jesus promptly answered those people “the poor you have with you always…Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
Do you know that sacrificial giving is an act of love, obedience, faith, and worship in this season of Lent? Members of the household of faith what sacrificial gifts are you planning to offer to God who gave us the gift of his son, Jesus Christ, who died such a painful death on the cross for my sins and yours.
Beloved and faithful siblings, God wants all believers to give cheerfully, bountifully, promptly, faithfully, and sacrificially. Giving sacrificially is about all that Go has blessed you with. This includes your time, skills, finances to include tithes and offerings with praise and worship.
This period of Lent is a time of meditation and repentance, therefore we need to meditate and repent of our sins as we remember that God gave us his son, Jesus, to take away all the sins of the world with his crucifixion for our sins when he had no sin of his own. This is in order for us to have everlasting life with him in his kingdom.
Thank you father God for being our best example of sacrificial giving with the gift of your son, Jesus Christ. We appreciate you Lord for the gift of yourself. Teach us to give out of love and generosity, in Jesus’ glorious name. Amen! Amen! Amen!
