What Price for a Soul?

Matthew 26:9 "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."

The story of the worshipper Mary who poured her whole life's savings at the feet of Jesus was looked upon with disgust by the thief Judas Iscariot. Everywhere the gospel is being preached, this story of the lives of two different persons are being told. Who are they actually?
Mary Magdalene was a woman prostitute whom Jesus cast out 7 demons from, whose brother Lazarus was raised back to life from the dead. Her encounter with Jesus was only probably less than a year. Judas Iscariot was a disciple of Jesus Christ following Jesus's ministry on earth for 3 years. Look how different their response were! One was full of gratitude and brokenness, the other full of pride and hypocrisy.
Hey wait... didn't Judas wanted to use the money to help the poor? Here in lies his hypocrisy. Judas was a thief who had been helping himself to Jesus's ministry bank account. He pocketed bits of money from the donations of some of Jesus's rich sponsors. When he saw that the perfume Mary poured onto Jesus's feet could have been converted into real money and be donated into the treasury, he cried out with pity! His concern wasn't for financial help that could be given to the poor but the financial gain he could pocket from it. A man who has been walking 3 years with God, who had seen God, touched God could still not understand the heart of God.
God's heart is for the lost souls of mankind... His heart is for you... What does Christmas mean to you?... Christmas to Jesus is when He broke the alabaster flask in heaven and came down to earth for you...

"Dearest Loving Father, I pray that we become people who comes to you with a true and clean heart and who understands your very heart of hearts. That You came to seek and save the lost. Give us a deep compassion for the lost and break our hearts for what breaks Yours. In Jesus's Name Amen."
