One of the results of meditation on scripture are insights that come as comparisions. I love doing charts like the one below. This one was a result of one of my CBS Bible Study questions. Please read the Scriptures quoted before considering the chart.
God bless you as you read and consider His Word.

Comparison of Mary’s sacrifice to Judas’ betrayal ( from Matt 26:6-16 & John 12:1-8) |
|
|
Mary - will be remember for her devotion |
Judas Iscariot - remembered as an icon of evil |
|
It cost her to carry out her act of devotion |
It cost another to carry out his act of betrayal |
|
she looked for an opportunity to bless Jesus |
he looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus |
|
she performed her deed publically |
he performed his deed in secret |
|
her act foretold Jesus’ death |
his act was foretold as leading to Jesus’death |
|
her act was a sweet fragrance filling the house |
his act was a horrible stench filling all history |
|
her act unselfish, an act of love |
his act selfish, an act of rebellion |
