Simple, Silent, Unassuming Worship
Mark 14:3-9
I find it wonderful how our Lord expresses this woman’s simple, yet focused act of worship in these verses here in Mark’s gospel. How different is this real worship as compared to today’s ‘contemporary’ style. How low key and unassuming and peaceful is this woman’s utter devotion to the Lord of Glory. I also noticed the Lord’s phrase in verse 9 . . . “this also that she hath DONE shall be spoken of . . .” she did not say a word, did not make a bunch of noise ‘praising Jesus,’ but simply, and with full understanding worshipped Him! May this be said of us here today. Not a lot of stuff was going on in that place; not a lot of music or pageantry or play acting but the ‘doing’ from the heart which truly shows itself in humble adoration for the One who called us and washed us in His own blood.
