Under Gods Command
John 12: 1-3 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, and expensive perfume, she poured it on Jesus feet and wiped his feet with her hair. Ant the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
John 12:4-6 But one of his disciples Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him objected, why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages. He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Judas often dipped into the disciples’ money bag for his own use. Jesus knew what Judas was doing, but never did or said anything about it. Similarly, when we choose the way of sin. God may not immediately do anything to stop us, but this does not mean he approves of our actions. What we deserve will come.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
