Grace for your spirit March 28, 2014

Grace for your spirit
Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor people?  Now he said this, not because he concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money, he used to pilfer what was put in it.  John 12:5-6

"SHOW ME THE MONEY", are sometimes the most spoken words in our churches.  So many are obsessed about how much money we have and where it is spent.  These words were about Judas Iscariot, the apostles' treasurer.  Judas Iscariot was apparently a good businessman, but a terrible apostle.  When we ask about the church finances, is it because we want to know how much good we can do for those in need,  or is to know how much there is for us?  The ministry of Jesus Christ needs to be a people ministry, not a business venture.
