Two Suppers - Two Extremes

Jesus eats two suppers with his men on back to back nights. One supper is at Simon the lepers house. The other supper is in the upper room. Between the two suppers we see individuals act in the extreme in opposite directions. At Simon's house, Mary pours out the contents of an alabaster box in worship of Jesus. It is lavish, unreserved, costly, and uninhibited. In the upper room, Jesus announces his impending betrayal by Judas. Judas has the audacity to ask, "Is it I?" He knew full well he had already conspired to betray Jesus. Within hours of this announcement, Judas would indeed betray Christ. We see the extremes of Worship and Betrayal.
