The Chibi News Daily Reflection

Hi everybody, my name is Reverend Nimsabungay and I'm the pastor of Freedom's Ark in Tottenham, North London

During Lent, I want us to reflect on John chapter 12, verse 1 to 8
0:18
We're told of how Jesus comes into Lazarus' home and Mary takes this very expensive perfume
0:27
and begins to anoint the feet of Jesus. And then we find Judas Iscariot who gets upset and says
0:36
why is she spending such expensive perfume washing the feet of Jesus
0:41
whereas it could be spent giving it to the poor? But the scripture points out that in reality
0:47
his heart was not really for the poor, but he was a thief and he wanted the money for himself
0:52
And it's often that we get caught up with wrong motives in asking for certain things
0:58
And it reflects that so strongly with what happens with Judas. We get distracted with the
1:05
instead of focusing on the main thing, which was worship, he got focused on self
1:11
Whereas God calls us to worship in spirit and in truth and not get caught up
1:15
with the distractions of this life, but focus on how we can serve Jesus
1:20
in spirit and in truth and truly give the best of ourselves
1:24
to the Lord Jesus Christ
