As people gathered for a meal after Lazarus\u2019 resurrection \u2013 it was kind of like he was at his own wake/celebration \u2013 Mary anointed Jesus with costly perfume. This was an expression of unreserved devotion to Him; she was \u201call in,\u201d giving us an example of adoration and worship to the Lord. She did this in spite of what those around her thought, including Judas, who reprimanded her for \u201cwasting\u201d such costly perfume. Like Mary, we need to allow our worship to be free of what others think and break out of cultural expectations. We should stand, kneel, raise our hands, sing and shout \u2013 it\u2019s all biblical. It\u2019s time to break out of our \u201cworship boxes.\u201d Jesus is worth it.
