Mark 14:8 She has done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying. I. THE MOTIVE OF CHRISTIAN DUTY. Love is that motive — the very principle which fills the mind of Deity. It was love which brought the Saviour down, and led Him through all the scenes of His earthly sufferings and the cross. Christ has loved you; therefore do what you may, for His sake. No higher motive than this can be urged. II. THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE REQUIRED. The amount of ability is the measure of duty. What we can do, we ought to do — cheerfully and honestly. Use the balance of the sanctuary to make sure that thou art not defrauding thy God. (S. Robins.) Parallel Verses KJV: She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.WEB: She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying. |
