“a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.”
Matthew 26:7-8 NIV
Note in this version all the disciples (not just Judas) are offended at this extravagant action. All the disciples were indignant (angered, outraged, or annoyed by something they perceive as unjust, unfair, or wrong). Pure offerings are often misunderstood. When individuals really get something from God, it often shows up the status quo. Rather than rejoicing at this move of the Spirit, the “church” is indignant. Revival is rarely welcome. Even amongst many of us who say we want it there is always the possibility when it comes that it will offend us because of who it comes through and the way it comes. Lord, let us not be indignant at the ways you work and the people you choose to use.
Rev John James
