14 Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him. (Matthew 26)
In yesterday's passage, Jesus said that the woman who lavished purfume on His feet and expressed worshipful devotion to Him would be remembered for what she had done. In this passage we find waht Judas was remembered for: being the betrayer. Obviously as a disciple for three years Judas had done some good things - otherwise there would have been no doubt by the other eleven when the next day Jesus announced one woud betray Him. But for all the good he may have done, this one act, and the others related to it, remain his name to fame. What will we be remembered for? For how long? May we make today count to do something of lasting value, lasting love, lasting service for Christ.
