From the beginning you knew the final outcome watched as the jigsaw pieces were slotted into place saw the significance of every moment.
As your body was anointed with oil at the table of Simon the Leper the picture was becoming clearer not only in your eyes but to an unknown woman and one of your closest friends.
Judas sensed that this was his moment sacrificing trust that had been so freely given on the altar of selfish gain for his fifteen allotted minutes of fame and thirty pieces of silver The woman recognized the moment.
She gave generously unselfishly a costly gift, freely offered.
A fragrant sacrifice of perfume and love remembered forever in your heart.
And as Judas slipped away unnoticed your disciples saw none of this failed to see the significance of the moment.
Two sacrifices, one of trust and one of love.
But you noticed, Lord as you notice each day our sacrificial offering and betrayal.
