WORSHIP AND LIFE?
Read John 12. 1-8
It is the nature of a great
love to express itself in
unexpected ways. Mary loved
her Lord deeply. She came
into the room where the
guests were reclining at the
table and poured the entire
contents of a hux of expensive
spikenard on Jesus' feet: and
with it she brought the
devotion of her heart.
What a beautiful act of
worship! For this is worship -
to bring ones treasure, one's
affection, the best that one
has and is, as an offering to
the Christ.
The record tells us that the
house was filled with the odor
of the ointment, and through
the centuries the fragrance of
Mary's deed has been wafted
into evey part of the
Christian fellowship, in-
spiring the devotion of many
another since that day,
Certainly, this should have
been no occasion for dispute,
and yet a dispute there was. It
was Judas who objected,
"Why was this ointment not
sold for three hundred denarii
and •given to the poor?"
Whether or not he was really
interested in helping the poor
is another question. But it
was certain that he was
'disparaging worship in the
interest of practical duties.
To his mind (if he was sincere
in what he said) it was much
more important to feed the
poor than to express devotion
for the person of Jesus Christ.
And perhaps, on first thought,
we tend to agree with Judas -
especially as we think of the
many instances of Jesus' own
concern for the sick, the
outcast and the poor.
But .1 esus commended
Mary's act, and in so doing
offered a stinging rebuke to
Judas' object ion. And we
need to understand that Jesus
was not expressing a lack of
compassion for the needy.
What he was trying to un-
derscore is the primacy of
worship as the focal point of a
life of discipleship, and that it
is from worship that we.move
out in response to God's love
in Christ to give ourselves in
service to others for his sake.
According to Jesus, then,
worship is the first duty of a
Christian: and many since
.1 udas have failed to
recognize this point. Worship
is the means whereby we
attach ourselves to his
Person, and attachment to
him is the fertile ground out
of which spring all Christian
graces • including the sharing
of what we have with those
who know real physical want.
"As the branch cannot hear
fruit of itself except it abide in
the vine, no more can you
except you abide in me."
If I had been pour and
friendless in those days. I
would have appealed every
time to the devoted Mary
rather than to the coldly
calculating Judas. He who
Spoke so disparagingly of
pure worship under the guise
of his interest in the physical
needs of his fellow citizens, a
few days later sold his Master
and his own soul for thirty
pieces of silver. To slight
worship, public and private,
in the professed interest of
what is '•prac'tical" is to have
the spiritual life go dry at it
source.
.ludasmistaken theory of
worship and its relationship
to a full and meaningful life
survives today. We absent
ourselves from public wor-
shipfor business
engagements, for recreation,
for the need of a rest, or for
any one of a dozen other
reasons. And those, of us who
neglect public worship are
likely the same ones who
neglect private ;worship too'.
11c excuse r I V t'S by
saying, "Jesus says it doesn't
matter so much how or when
we worship, but how we live,"
But Jesus didn't say that!
Judas said it. Jesus said that
the way we worship deter-
mines how we live. In this
matter, some who call
themselves Christians may
really he followers of Judas
rather than of Jesus.

Dear Editor:
I am so happy that Mr, which was the greatest
Warr
at least 'acknowledges commandment, Jesus said:.]
that the name of God is "You must love Jehovah your
Jehovah,. Also that he God with your whole heart,
correctly understands that I
and with your whole soul and
believe that there is not with your whole mind."
(MATTHEW 22: 35-37)
In prayer, Jesus said:
'"Father, glorify your name."
(JOHN 12:27) "This means
everlasting life, their taking
in knowledge of you, the only
true God, and of the one
whom you sent forth, .Jesus
Christ," (JOHN 17:3)
Scholars familiar with
history know that the doctrine
of the "Trinity" had its origin

stantine in the year 325, at the

times God the • Father

When under pressure from

is to him alone you must
render sacred service.''
