Daily Devotional for Mar 30, 2026

Stop doing the empire's math. 💰 In John 12, Mary pours a year's wages of perfume on Jesus' feet. Judas hates it. He tries to calculate the ROI on an act of pure, unregulated grace. He thinks everything has a price tag, because he has a price. The treasurer makes the worst investment in history, while the woman with everything to lose makes a gesture remembered 2,000 years later. The empire calculates who deserves what. The kingdom breaks the jar.
