TWO KINDS OF HEARTS

IS YOUR LOVE TIGHT-FISTED?

It is said Mary had a heart of gratitude, but Judas had a heart o greed.

Godliness with contentment is great gain.  Discontentment on the other hand can creep in our lives and make us very unsatisfied with what we have.   That's why the apostle Paul said that greed and eagerness for money have caused some to err from the faith and pierce themselves with many sorrows.

Without gratefulness we can fall prey to the same hardness of heart and darkness that Judas displayed.  It's only the grace of God that keeps us.  

MARY'S HEART VS JUDAS'S HEART

Mary came with abandon - Judas came with an agenda

Mary heard what Jesus was saying - and she responded - Judas heard but did not understand.

Mary held nothing back - Judas gave nothing up

Extravagant love is difficult to understand.  People will always tell you what you should or should not be doing.  They may tell you that you going overboard or you putting in too much or giving too much.  

What do you think of the statement... 

TRUE LOVE ALWAYS COSTS THE GIVER SOMETHING

Can you relate to that statement?  Answer the following.....

• What did it cost Mary?

• What did it cost you?

Remember Jesus had an extravagant love and His love cost the extravagant sacrifice of His life.
