Every week my friend Tom and I go to the Anderson County jail to lead a Bible Study for some of the fellas in Unit 2. Every week we plead with guys out on the block to come join us as we sing, pray and try to figure out what it looks like to live a life with God in it. Lots of guys come, but there are also lots of guys who don’t. Sometimes the ones who come are ridiculed for being a part of Bible Study. Their ‘cellies’ think they are stupid or weak. In other words, they have to take a stand, and pay a price for loving Jesus. One time a woman anointed Jesus with some very expensive perfume as a way to show Him that she loved Him. Everyone who was there made fun of her and even Jesus’ disciples chewed her out for being wasteful. But Jesus didn’t. He defended her and said she had done a “beautiful thing” for Him. I love Jesus because He loves it when people love Him back. When it costs you to love Jesus, He knows. When you suffer for loving Him, He sees it and He likes what He sees.
