Speaking of the "Judases" of the world, I think it's important to point out that he really didn't mean what he said about selling the perfume and giving the money to the poor. He was only interested in enriching himself. Back to Mary....I think it's meaningful that what she laid at Jesus's feet was of great value to her (and apparently to Judas), but of no value to Jesus. What was of value to Him was her gesture....her sacrifice...her faith. When I think about what I can lay at Jesus's feet, I think it's critical to not only think about what's valuable to me, but to really think about what's valuable to Him.
