Matthew 26: 7 - .... a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
Matthew 26:14-15 - Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles, went to the chief priests and asked, “How much will you pay me to get Jesus into your hands?” And they gave him thirty silver coins. From that time on, Judas watched for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them.
Both knows the Savior well. One choose to act in absolute worship and adoration. She broke the alabaster jar and poured the costly oil on His head. The other allows greed to overtake him. He betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver which was the going rate for a slave at that time. Till today he is still referred as the betrayer. Both knows Jesus but the condition of their heart determine their action.
May we be more like the woman who offered her precious alabaster jar for the Lord. May we anoint Jesus with the precious oil of our devotion, our worship, our resources, our talents and our life. May we give the best of our lives on the One who poured out His life for us.
Be Blessed.
