YPM Camp 2005

thu evening sermon

these are my notes for the sermon that Chye Aik preached on Thursday (15 dec 2005) at the YPM Camp, ReZolution'05.

Mark 14:3-9 (John 12:3-8)
People pour life onto something or someone. All value something or someone differently.
TITLE: Wasting Your Life On Jesus
when you're in love with someone, you're willing to do crazy things...
Action of Alabaster box of spiknard perfume
- rare - uncommon - not for ordinary people
$$ inheritance from parents?
$$ for future marriage?

1. Giving without regard to cost
   she was sharply criticized! even the 12 apostles criticized her - "crazy!"
   Extraordinary Christian -> will be criticized.
   She knew that it was a beautiful thing in the eyes of the Lord.
   
2. Broke it - True brokeness and humility
   True spiritual pride - God without you I can make it on my own.
   What are the things we can't live without?
   Until we need God the way we need air...
   5 examples of broken things used to do great things:
   
   • Judges 6-8 Broken pitcher
   • Mark 14:3 Broken box - oil poured
   • Mark 14:10 Broken bread
   • 1 Corinthians 11:24 Broken body, world to save
   • Psalm 51:17 Broken will, fulfilled in Jesus Christ
3. Wiped Jesus' feet with her hair
   laying down for God's disposal
   sacred hair - wipe feet of Jesus (feet - dirtiest part of the body)
   totally sold out for Jesus

a life sold out for Jesus is never wasted -> it's beautiful in God's sight.
