C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of memory, affection, and intellect in our relationship with Jesus, as exemplified by Mary, who treasured and pondered the things she heard about Him. He encourages believers to remember the works of Christ, to hold Him dearly in their hearts, and to engage their minds in deep meditation on His nature and deeds. Spurgeon urges the congregation to not only cherish their memories of Christ but to actively express their love and devotion, likening their hearts to an alabaster box pouring out affection. He challenges them to seek a deeper understanding of Jesus, urging them to go beyond surface-level engagement and to invite Him to abide with them. Ultimately, he calls for a heartfelt embrace of Christ, even when understanding may fall short.
