"They made Him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment (John 11:2,3).
Worship has a threefold chord:
To serve, to sit, to sacrifice.
These are valued by the Lord:
Very costly, without price.
Martha served as she was able,
Joyfully for Christ, her Guest.
Lazarus was at the table:
What a portrait of our rest!
Mary's ointment sweetly filled
The house with fragrance of her love
For her Lord who would be killed,
But then exalted far above.
To everything there is a season;
God ordains the time and place.
Every purpose has a reason:
To glorify the God of grace.
