DAILY READINGS: Exodus 40:1-38; Psalms 94:1-95:11; Acts 24:1-23

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus… sat at the table with him. Then took Mary…spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus. John 12:2-3

How delightful to observe this united effort in honouring the Lord Jesus! “They made him a supper.” With singleness of heart, they planned and prepared, just to show their deep appreciation of Him. Each contributed his or her share gladly, knowing it was for Him. How utterly inappropriate was the harsh criticism voiced by Judas, “Why this waste?” (see Matt. 26:8). Let us be constantly careful lest our criticisms should disturb fellowship, hurt fellow-believers, or “spoil the supper” for others. —George Hall

May the love of Jesus fill me, as the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing—this is victory. —Kate B. Wilkinson
