What is Jesus actually worth to you? In John 12, Mary pours out an entire pound of costly perfume on the feet of Jesus, an act that looks wasteful to everyone in the room but reveals a heart fully surrendered to Him. Judas responds with calculation and self-interest, exposing the contrast between true worship and spiritual performance. The Palm Sunday crowd cheers for Jesus until He fails to meet their expectations, reminding us that admiration is not the same as worship. True worship costs something. It reflects what you genuinely believe Jesus is worth, not just in what you say on Sunday, but in how live Monday through Saturday. Jesus did not wait for us to prove our devotion before giving Himself for us. He went to the cross while we were still self-interested, still asking what He could do for us. That is the gospel, and it is the reason holding nothing back from Him is not a sacrifice but the only reasonable response.
