The Fragrance of Devotion: How Mary's Extravagance Prepares Us for Easter

Send us a Text Message and let us know what you think! Hello Friends! Welcome to today"s episode, where Martha Wilson explores one of the most profound acts of worship recorded in scripture. Just days before Jesus would face the cross, Mary of Bethany broke open an alabaster jar of pure nard—perfume worth an entire year"s wages—and lavishly poured it over Jesus" feet. This extravagant gesture wasn"t just a beautiful moment; it was prophetic, preparing Jesus for burial even as others around her questioned the wastefulness of her sacrifice. In today"s conversation, Martha unpacks the significance of Mary"s costly offering, examining what true devotion looks like when we hold nothing back from our Savior. What compels someone to pour out everything in worship? And as we approach Easter, what might we learn from Mary about preparing our hearts for the ultimate sacrifice Jesus would soon make? Here"s a link to the book by Ann Voskamp: Loved To Life - A 40 Day Pilgrimage With Love Himself That Will Change Your Life We"d love for you to share this podcast with a friend.  And we"d love to hear from you.
