“The last jar on your shelf”, based on the John 12:1-8 invites listeners to reflect on this captivating power packed, act of Mary the sister of Lazarus who was brought back to life by their friend Jesus the Christ. The story is about true love and faith, friendship and extravagant giving without inhibition and is also about what Mary did, how she did it and why she did it.
The action of Mary in this passage points all believers to the act of extravagant love for Jesus Christ by giving the best of what they have to God. Jesus Christ himself gives up his life. (John 15:13) “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” What gift can be more than this?
