John 12: 1-11 (Monday, March 17, 2008)

How easy it is for us sometimes to make excuses why we cannot spend more time in worship of God. When I retire, then I will spend more time in prayer or volunteering in the church. When I get a better job, then I will begin to tithe. Whatever you need to do for Jesus, you must do it now. The last time I checked with retired people, they are busier now than before they retired. If you cannot tithe 10% now, you will probably not tithe 10% when you make more money. Judas in today’s gospel is trying to excuse his selfishness. We must be vigilant to do what we need to do at the proper time so that we do not miss our moment. You may not have the opportunity to retire before you die; you may not get that higher paid job before you die. Whatever you can do for Jesus, do it now.

What can you do for Jesus today?
