You Will Not Always Have Me
Mark 14:1-11 | Pastor Buck Poole | September 27, 2026
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, 2 for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.”
– Mark 14:1-2 ESV
TRUTH: The gospel demands our total devotion to Christ.
1. The woman betrays the things of this world for the sake of Christ.
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
– Mark 14:6-9 ESV
2. Judas betrays Christ for the sake of the things of this world.
10 Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.
– Mark 14:10-11 ESV
