SURRENDERING FULLY

-

 



The unnamed woman anoints Jesus’ head with costly perfume.

Jesus interprets it as preparation for His burial, linking her act to His coming sacrifice.
He declares her deed will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached—showing its eternal significance.


COST


1.Conviction


- Repentance and Forgiveness (Luke 7)
- The “sinful woman” weeps, washes Jesus’ feet with her tears, and wipes them with her hair.
- Her perfume offering shows brokenness and surrender, acknowledging Jesus as the one who forgives sins.
- Jesus contrasts her devotion with the Pharisee’s coldness, teaching that those forgiven much, love much.
- Gratitude and Worship (John 12)
- Mary of Bethany pours expensive nard on Jesus’ feet, wiping them with her hair.
- This act flows from gratitude for Lazarus’ resurrection and recognition of Jesus as “the Resurrection and the Life.”
- The fragrance filling the house symbolizes how true worship permeates everything.


2.Covered by his Love


- Extravagant Love: The perfume was extremely costly, yet poured out without hesitation. This shows conviction that Jesus is worth everything.
- Humility: Wiping His feet with hair was culturally shocking, symbolizing total surrender and self-denial.
- Faith in His Identity: Each woman recognized Jesus not just as teacher, but as Messiah, Savior, and Lord.
- Defiance of Criticism: Disciples and Pharisees called it wasteful, but conviction led them to honor Jesus above social opinion.





3.Compassion in life


1.Compassion is costly: It often requires giving up comfort, time, or resources.

2.Compassion restores: Like Jesus lifting her shame, our compassion should heal wounds, not deepen them.

3.Compassion is remembered: Jesus said her act would be told wherever the gospel is preached—true compassion leaves a legacy.

THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

                                                                                Living God In this world, there are two types of people: those created by God and those who believe they can create God. However, the truth is, humans cannot create God. Only God can create humans because He is the Creator of the world, and He lives in heaven. One day, we will all face physical death on this earth, and after that, we will meet Him in heaven. But only those created by God and who believe in Him will enter heaven. God cannot be created using earthly materials like light, stones, wood, or other objects because God is spirit. He can talk, listen, and sense, but He is not in human form. God doesn't need anything from this earth—not gold, diamonds, money, food, or possessions. What God desires i...

Evangelism (Missions) A Biblical Understanding of Evangelism Evangelism is not converting peoples but according to bible it Says that changing people lives                   (The life given by god and rededicating to God back) World Terminology (Convert) – Bible terminology (Change)   According to the Bible, Christians are called to care, to plead, and even to persuade unbelievers (2 Cor. 5:11). Yet we are to do so by “setting forth the truth plainly,” which means “renouncing secret and shameful ways” (2 Cor. 4:2).   Evangelism, in other words, is not about doing everything we can to get a person to make a decision for Jesus, much less about imposing our views. Attempting to force a spiritual birth will prove to be as effective as Ezekiel trying to stitch dead, dry bones together to make a person (Ezekiel 37), or as likely as Nicodemus giving himself a new birth in the Spirit (John...
