Treasuring Jesus Above All John 12:1–8
 1. Treasuring Jesus Means Sacrificing Earthly Riches Without Regret (1-3) (Original: "willing to sacrifice any earthly treasure—no matter the cost") Emphasizes both the act and the heart behind it—no regret, no hesitation.
 2. Treasuring Jesus Means Surrendering Our Status for His Glory (3 “she let down her hair”—was willing to lose dignity—at his feet) (Original: "willing to lose our dignity for Him") “Surrendering our status” is more modern and applies to both social image and personal ego.
 3. Treasuring Jesus Means Embracing Criticism for Loving Him Deeply (4-6) (Original: "willing to be criticized for our extravagant devotion") Keeps the original idea but personalizes the source of criticism: our love for Him.
 4. Treasuring Jesus Means Choosing His Presence Over Life’s Best Gifts (7-8)
