In the first five messages in this series, we have travelled rather rapidly from one scene to the next. We found that the mind is of utmost importance, a veritable battleground of mental warfare. We even went a step further and found that there is a choice of kingdoms, which forces us to get off the fence if we hope to confront and to conquer mediocrity. In the message that followed, we discovered that such a decision is costly. Commitment is essential if we hope to soar like an independent, keen-thinking eagle.

So now it’s time to change the pace. Let’s slow down and stroll quietly through a scene that will add some needed perspective. Before we get so intensely independent and start operating as if excellence means isolation, let’s linger here at a place where love was so extravagant it was downright shocking.

Mark 14:1-9
