Everything is progressing like normal. The dinner was pretty good. You might have preferred a few more spices - or less. Great wine though. There are usual curious bystanders who wanted to get a close look.
But then! Are you kidding? What is she doing? Kneeling in front of him and undoing her hair. Letting her hair down like that? In front of HIM? And, no kidding, she pulls out this bottle of perfume. Where did she get that expensive stuff? She isn't is she? No, she doesn't just dab some on his feet, she empties the whole thing! And then... she dries his feet with her hair!
How dare she do that? What a waste! And the audacity!
I wonder what the other disciples were thinking? Judas blurted out, "What? That stuff could have been sold and lots of the poor could have benefited from the proceeds!"
Maybe you would have spoken up? Maybe you would haver kept quiet. Chances are, we all would have cast judgement.
And so we do with worship today. We have our opinions and judgements of how others worship Jesus. Often to the point where we no longer worship because we are pointing fingers!
I wonder what it would be like if we all just got down to what God wants. To worship Him in spirit and in truth. Genuine. Allowing our spirit to connect with His Spirit.
Go ahead. Pour out your best stuff!
