Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot was one of the first 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ. Can you imagine being one of the 12 that the Messiah wanted as a close friend, confidant, companion? In addition to being one of these men, Judas was the keeper of the money for the group. Judas could not see far enough beyond his own greed and his own goals to appreciate Mary as she anointed Jesus' feet with that expensive perfume just days before Jesus' cruxifixion. How are we like Judas? How many times have we dreamed of a life of wealth so that "we" can have houses, cars, jewels? How might our goals change if we were setting goals and asking for God's input? What God goals do you have? How do you know that they are God goals and not yours?
