Seed for May 26

Matt 26:7-9
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
(KJV)
I would like for you to pay special attention to the word "waste ". I believe this to be the key to this verse. This ointment cost a year's wages, and was freely poured out on Jesus. Then the disciples ask, “What's the meaning of this waste”? This is exactly the attitude of the world about a life that is poured out and surrendered to Jesus. Why would you waste your whole life by serving the Lord? But let me say what ever is offered to the Lord is not a waste. By spending my life on Jesus, by losing my life, I have gained everything. Not only the promise of abundant life but of eternal life.

The attitude of the world is that anyone who serves the Lord is “wasting” their life. But Jesus said, “He that loses his life actually finds it.” And I have found that to be true. Before I knew the Lord, I really didn't have a life, I was just existing. But I really began to live after I allow Jesus to come into my life, and I offered Him my old broken down life, so that he could live out His life in me. Now instead of a wasted life I have abundant life. Now you need to ask yourself, is Jesus worth wasting your life for? A life without Jesus is a wasted life, not a life spent on Jesus. Be blessed
