Title: How Much Is Jesus Worth to You? (34)
Series: The Gospel of Mark-A Journey with Jesus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Mark 14:1-21
- We are studying the Gospel of Mark together on Sunday mornings in a sermon series called, A Journey With Jesus. Today, we come to Mark 14:1-21. Here, we see an interesting contrast. We see a woman named Mary, who recognizes the worth and value of Jesus and responds in worship, sacrifice, and admiration.

It wasn't until four years later, when he came across them again, that he decided to get them appraised by a professional. What he discovered changed everything. The negatives turned out to be some of the earliest works of the legendary photographer Ansel Adams. Those dusty, old glass plates were worth not $45, but around $200 million! A $45 purchase turned into an unimaginable fortune. Now, think about it. For years, these priceless works of art were completely overlooked. They sat, collecting dust, because no one knew what they were worth. And if he had never taken the time to have them looked at, they might still be sitting under his pool table today; forgotten and undervalued.*
