Congratulations you read the whole book of Mark! Woot! Woot! You go sisters & brothers! :) Today lets recap the miracles in Mark 13-16. You might be thinking umm… I didn’t really see many miracles like I did in the previous chapters. The miracle in Mark 13-16 is... JESUS! Isn’t it beautiful how much He loves you?
Remember don’t just come to your Bible, come to JESUS in the Bible. Get Up Summer is coming to an end but it doesn’t mean you go backwards. After you read this blog go and make a plan on what you are going to read in the Bible next. Come to JESUS in your Bible everyday. Just think of how much stronger your relationship with Jesus will be next year at this time, if you don’t stop.
Now turn in your Bible to Mark Chapter 14...
“A woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head.”
Mark 14:3
The woman with the alabaster jar is Mary from Bethany, same Mary from Mary & Martha (Luke 10:38-42.) She sat at the feet of Jesus, she experienced the death of her brother Lazarus, She experienced Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11.) Now Mary was pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’ head.
Mary had a strong relationship with Jesus, she spent time with Him. I want to encourage you to keep spending time with Jesus. He’s real, He is no respecter of person, and He can do beautiful miracles in your life.
Bring your best to Jesus! On the days you feel broken, you feel as if you gave up everything and you have nothing left…
Bring it to Jesus & He will put you back together.
“But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this perfume been wasted?” For this perfume might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her.”
Mark 14:4-5
People are not always going to approve of your relationship with Jesus. That’s ok, please Jesus not Man. Don’t fight with them either, show love & if that’s not received turn your cheek.
“Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for me.”
Mark 14:6
Just know Jesus has got your back! ;)
TODAY YOU GOT UP! NOW KEEP WALKING TOWARDS JESUS EVERYDAY!
Love Your Kingdom Sister,
Jessica :)
