In Mark 14 Judas gets offended at a woman pouring expensive perfume on Jesus. That was it for him, he went to the chief priest and plotted to give Jesus up. Judas regularly helped himself to the "ministry fund" and now he was upset because someone else was extravagant in their giving to Jesus. Hmmm.....
Judas was religious and not a true follower even though it looked like he followed. A religious person (really a religiously spirited person - if you know what I mean) gets upset when others are extravagant in their giving or service to God. We have got to keep alert over ourselves and watch for this insidious attitude and thinking. May God purge us of the spirit that would criticize others when they are going all out for God , no matter how "out there" it may seem to us.
