In Matthew 26:6-16, an anonymous woman poured expensive perfume worth $86,000 on Jesus' head, sacrificing her entire future security in an act of extravagant worship. While the disciples criticized this as wasteful, Jesus defended her actions, recognizing that she was preparing him for burial and demonstrating true understanding of his worth. In stark contrast, immediately after this event, Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver - the price of a slave. The woman saw Jesus as worth everything she had, while Judas valued him at the lowest possible price. This story challenges us to examine what price we put on Jesus through our daily choices, time, and resources. Ask yourself the question, "How much is Jesus worth to me?"
