You Can’t Alter Your Timeline
“You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.” Jesus was explaining how the poor will always be around but He himself was not going to be around on earth much longer. Mary poured out expensive perfume to anoint Jesus for His soon coming death on the cross. She was honoring Him but Judas said this expensive perfume should have been for helping the poor. The urgency was the soldiers were coming to get Him any minute. In that moment when Mary was using the perfume as a pre embalming situation for Jesus’ burial, it was spiritual and significant as Jesus put it’s importance before the poor. Everything had significance even to letting Peter know before it happened, he would deny Jesus three times and then the rooster would crow. Jesus literally went through hell on earth and then hell itself. To everything there’s a time and season. A time to cry, a time for war, a time for things to fall into place on your behalf. Our timeline, has already been figured out by God. Certain things are not going to happen in your life until that season has come, good and bad. As all time lines begin to come to an end, our relationship with the Lord should be solid, and our fellowship tight. We are to help, and lend to the poor, in doing so we lend to the Lord, and He will repay you for your act of love, because then you’re acting like your Father God.
