Fall Music Schedule 2010

Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.  (I Corinthians 14:26 NLT)

I have a picture painted on the wall in my office.  It’s a simple sketch depicting a woman on her knees pouring a jar of perfume over the feet of another; and using her long flowing hair she washes the man’s feet.  The man getting his feet washed is Jesus, and all we see of him is the foot being offered.  Her face is hidden behind her hair, and we really can’t know all that is going on inside her heart in this moment.  The sandal of Jesus is casually placed to the side, a silent witness to a tender moment of worship.  The perfume drizzles onto the foot and trails away, a lavish gift poured out and filling the room with its intrusive fragrance.  The people around are shocked at the scene, the way she debases herself, and places herself in humility below this man.  They are outraged at the impropriety.  She should know that this is not how we act.  They are angered at the waste, the expense that could be used for the poor, certainly not on this Jesus.

A lot of people watched.  A lot of people commented.  A lot of people reacted.  This one woman brought something to Jesus.  She brought a very precious offering, a sacrifice that was pleasing to Jesus.  He said so.  And he said we should remember this.  So think about this as you prepare yourself for next Sunday when we worship.  Remember that worship is about bringing an offering, one that will bring glory to God and will be for each others strength as we carry out the call of Cornerstone church to change our world.
