In \u201cI Remember When Jesus ________\u201d, Rodney shares that as a Christian during the Easter season, our thoughts should remember the goodness of Jesus in our life. What would you say, or could you do for someone who did something for you that can not be quantified? Do you remember when Jesus ________? You can fill in the blank. If Jesus changed and transformed your life, what should be your response? The gospel of John tells of an event just days before his last Passover meal, arrest, and subsequent crucifixion. Mary, the sister of Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead only a few months prior, is the honored guest at a party in the town of Bethany. She anointed and washed the feet of Jesus with expensive oil. The fragrance filled the room. This was an extravagant act of gratitude and worship on public display. Her gift and sacrifice were costly. She was giving her all. She poured it out without measure upon Jesus\u2019 feet. This is a picture of the extravagant gift of ourselves and offering that we ourselves are challenged to give. Mary and the others saw the act as an act of extravagant love, but likely didn\u2019t realize the true significance of what she had done. How many times have we missed the greater picture of what God was doing, or express thanks? In a few days, the glory of God would be on full display. The glory of God\u2019s goodness can still be experienced today. When people hear and see what Jesus did for you and me, it gives them hope that what He did for us, He will do for them. But, first, we must remember what Jesus has done for us. Reflecting on his goodness calls us to worship Him, and our pure, unbridled expressions of gratitude from our heart will cause others to pause and consider the work of Jesus Christ. When they do, that will be a glorious day.
