JUDAS ISCARIOT – LESSON 5
THE DINNER IN BETHANY
Judas Iscariot, son of the Pharisee, Simon “the leper” Iscariot, had all the training Jesus had given to the twelve. He had even done “the works” of Jesus when sent out in the group of twelve and the group of seventy, two by two. Jesus had given him every opportunity, even giving him special status of being the group treasurer to keep the money bag.
Unfortunately, Judas’ heart was not really right. Yes, he was indeed the odd man of the group being the only non-Galilean. But he had a weakness called “the love of money.” John 12:6 says, “…he was a thief, and had the bag (of money), and bare (pilfered) what was put therein.”
As Jesus came into His final week (passion week) approaching Passover, he was invited to a large dinner in Bethany, just outside Jerusalem, at the house of Simon the leper. All of Jesus’ disciples were in attendance, along with other local residents. Lazarus, Mary, and Martha were all present as well.
While at dinner, Mary brought out an alabaster box of very expensive perfume, spikenard, probably imported from India. She took the spikenard and anointed Jesus’ head with it, then used some on his feet and wiped it with her long hair. This was prophetically symbolic. Jesus’ head is anointed signifying Him as King of Kings. His feet are anointed to show His servanthood. The significance of the spikenard was that of a burial spice signifying his death. Of course, none of them understood that at that moment. Prophetic typology is usually understood best in hindsight.
Mary’s act of love caused quite a big stir. The host, Simon, was offended that Jesus would accept such radical behavior from a woman who was such a sinner as Mary. Jesus perceived the Pharisee’s objection and promptly rebuked his host for his haughty attitude. He also pointed out that Simon had not anointed or honored his guest, not even to have the dust washed off his feet. (Luke 7:36-40, 44-50.)
Judas’ father had just been publicly rebuked by Jesus. This was Judas’ home too, in all likelihood. Being reprimanded in his own home was extremely embarrassing to both Simon and to his son Judas. Judas also had another problem with this incident. Judas rebuked Jesus for accepting Mary’s gift to be wasted like this. He pointed out that it could have been sold for 300 pence and given to the poor as Jesus had often done in the past. This amount of money was approximately worth one whole years’ worth of wages for a worker. It was a “smokescreen” objection; Judas wanted it for the money bag so he could steal a little of it. This revealed the true condition of his heart. Tomorrow we shall see what precipitated from this dinner event that surely offended both Judas and his Father Simon Iscariot.

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
When Queen Esther was confronted by her Uncle Mordecai that she must do something to save her people, the Jews, he told her that perhaps her whole purpose for being chosen as Queen of the kingdom may have been “for such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14b)
There is no mistake in God’s timing. Jesus was born “in the fullness of time.” He didn’t come one day early or one day late. He will come again, not one day early and not one day late.
Likewise, each of us have been born with a purpose in this season that we came into being. God, who is all knowing, knew you would born, the exact minute, hour, day, and year. He knows everything about you and me. He knows the numbers of hair on our head, and every thought in our heart.
Perhaps you wish that you were born in a different century, but that wasn’t God’s plan. He needs you now. You may not be an evangelist that brings millions to the Lord, or a famous actor that brings godly movies to the screen, but you are needed in this season. One may never know this side of heaven just what all of our purpose was. Perhaps you encouraged someone one day that would have ended their life. Perhaps you are the parent or grandparent of a child that will discover a cure for a disease.
Rest assured my friends you were born for such a time as this. Not one day too soon, or one day too late. Seek the Lord’s face and He will lead you in your purpose whatever it may be. Like Esther, who was an orphan, God used her in a mighty way. Let Him use you too. I guarantee that one day in glory you will see how valuable your life was from heavens’ view.

You are never too young or too old for a fresh start. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow isn't here. Today is the day of new beginnings. Forget the failures and don't dwell on them. Forget the victories for they are in the past. Determine that today you will be victorious and that you were made for such a time as this!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
May 22, 2021
Isolation has never been anyone’s friend. In fact, little by little isolation will steal your joy as well as your true identity. No doubt some of you for various reasons have pulled away from most everyone and everything. Perhaps you’re asking but why do some people want to isolate themselves? Well, I’ve noticed that isolation will usually be resorted to; When someone is trying to hide from the very person or the thing that needs to be confronted and dealt with in their life. The real truth is that you’ll never get over someone or get through something...UNTIL you first buck up, face the music and deal with the real issue at hand. It’s only then that you can get through the hurt, the dirt, the hardships and the deliverance from all the junk in your trunk; While keeping your identity, your integrity and your self worth fully intact. It’s then that you’ll be able to completely find the real you again; And for some of you it’s been a long time since you or anyone else has seen the person that you really are. Why? Simply because somewhere along the way allowing the real you to surface had caused you way too much pain. So you withdrew into your shell and isolated the real you; All the while thinking you were protecting yourself. But instead you did yourself and those who really cared about you a great disservice. Yes, I’m talking about you finding the real you; And as you do you can then correctly position yourself for the promised promotion that God’s had on hold for you...All along. So why not stop the whole isolation bit? It’s when you decide to come out of hiding there in your isolation; That you’ll be in position to act right, do right and to finally deal with the real problem. Now quit trying to hide from the bitter truth that before has hurt you too badly to even consider doing so. In turn it caused you to isolate yourself from the very one or ones who could’ve helped you...And guess what? They’ll still help you now. Are you ready? If so, you can know it’s when you make that first move; That all those things that’s been so wrong will suddenly become so right; As they begin lining up to help you get out of the isolated place that you yourself chose to be in. Yes, it’s past time for you to go where you know you need to go; And to where you’ve really been wanting to go...It’s only then that you will be...Free to be all you can be
