It was never about money...
Good morning everyone! As many of you know I have been studying the life of Christ and the gospels. Something that has stuck out in my Pentecostal feminist mind: When reading the 14th chapter of St. Mark, I find that directly following the anointing of Christ by the woman with the alabaster box - Judas went out and conspired with the chief priests to betray Jesus.
This happened after the discussion about the woman who would waste such precious perfumed ointment on Jesus when the discussion was why the money was not instead used for distribution to the poor. Jesus reply was that the poor are always there and going to be there and you can give to them any time you want...but this woman was sensitive to what was happening and anointed Jesus out of worship knowing His time among them was limited.
I have some thoughts on why Judas did what he did...but I am interested in knowing if anyone else has thought about this?
In His Grip,
Rhoni
