Mary gave her all to serve Jesus. She received criticism and the accusation of wasting resources.that could have been invested more wisely. On the other hand Judas looked for ways that he could get a good deal, oblivious to what he had witnessed and experiences in personal ways. I used to worry that I would deny Christ as Peter did, all the while I was figuring iur ways to elevate myself among others, looking for what I could get out of ‘serving’ or participating in a good project. The world does not understand or compliment living a radical life for Jesus.
“Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation.” - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest,
