What does the Bible say about worshiping Christ with extravagant devotion?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates this through Mary's act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume, denoting wholehearted devotion.

In John 12, we see Mary express her love for Jesus by pouring an expensive perfume on His feet and wiping them with her hair. This act was an example of complete devotion and selflessness, demonstrating that true worship involves giving ourselves wholly to Christ rather than measuring out a portion. The Lord responded to Mary’s act positively, affirming its beauty, which contrasts with the devaluing attitudes expressed by Judas and the other disciples, who saw it as a waste. The biblical accounts challenge us to examine our own worship practices, encouraging a more profound dedication to glorifying God.
