“Judas…”

December 13, 2017

“Judas…”

Blessings folk!

The woman had anointed Jesus for burial.
She had extravagantly poured out expensive nard over Jesus’ head.

Jesus received what she had done.
Others were offended.

Mar 14:4-5

But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

“For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii,
and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

Shock, shock!

Jesus set them straight.
The poor would always be among them.
He would not be among them much longer.

Still, I suspect that some did not receive His correction.
Why do I think that?

Mar 14:10-11

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve,
went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money.
And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

It was after this moment that Judas betrayed the Lord.

Judas kept the money bag of Jesus and His disciples.

Jhn 13:29
For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box,
that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”;
or else, that he should give something to the poor.

I suspect Judas was one of the “indignant”.
Judas was mad.
He decided to force Jesus’ hand.
It would not turn out well for Him.
