The Character of Jesus - RECEIVED HONOR

Read Mark 14:3-9.

"But Jesus said, 'Let her alone; why do you bother her?  She has done a good deed to me.'" (v. 6)

Jesus allowed the young woman to give Him honor--and even praised her for doing so.  He did not put up false humility and push her away.  He allowed her the joy of honoring Him.

I need to lighten up and allow others to compliment a job well-done.  False humility many times indicates pride over the ones giving the honor.  Lord help me!
