Extravagant Devotion: Simple, Radical Christianity

What is it? Well, its my aim to find out. Mary of Bethany is the picture. That is, pouring out your worship, your love to Jesus.

Picture Mary at His feet, is that you? What costs you the most? Do you, can you, give that to the Man Christ Jesus?

Do you give Him the nooks and crannies of your life, your left over time? Do you carve out 1-2 hours every morning for Him?

Or, do you drip with the oil of intimacy? I desire to spend so much time with Jesus that I am oozing His very presence. At that point, you no longer speak or act out of your flesh.

This love, this intimacy does not naturally increase. The opposite actually happens. As days and weeks go on, love grows cold.

We must strive. We must violently fight for this devotion. Beloved, that is radical.
