Check Your Heart

Sometimes the best answer to the question of whether something is right or wrong is:

  • It depends…

 Our passage today begins with Mary performing an act of extravagant love!

  • But Judas complains! “This stuff is expensive! It could have been sold to take care of the poor!”
     
    • Which is true, but notice how Jesus responds:
       
      • “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. For the poor you will always have with you, but you do not always have me.” (Vs. 7)

Was Jesus implying that we shouldn’t take care of the poor?!

  • Of course not! He was saying; 
    • Circumstance matters!

 If you’re wondering what the right thing to do is in any given situation:

  • Check your heart!
