Read: Mark 14:1-9

What this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her. -Mark 14:9

Which of your accomplishments do you think will be most remembered and valued by
others?

Sculptor Frank Eliscu might have guessed that his signature work would be the Cascade
of Books outside the Library of Congress, or the Presidential Eagle in the White House.
But the most coveted piece of his art is a small statue that can be held in one hand – the
Heisman Trophy – awarded annually to the most outstanding college football player in the
United States.

The trophy was Eliscu’s first commission, completed when he was only 22. "It
was not one of my best works of art," he said, "but it turned out to be like the
Statue of Liberty, not beautiful, but it’s dear to people’s hearts."

Mary of Bethany probably never guessed that she would be remembered for an act
initially criticized as wasteful and inappropriate. After she poured a jar of every
expensive perfume on Jesus, the Lord silenced the outcry against her by saying,
"Wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will
also be told as a memorial to her" (Mk. 14:9).

Our truly immortal deeds will be like hers – simple acts of love for the Lord Jesus,
accepted and commended by Him.

• David C. McCasland

No service in itself is small, None great, though earth it fill;

But that is small that seeks its own,

And great that does God’s will. -Anon
