Thief


John 12.

Verse 6: He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief....

Verse 19: So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!"

Verse 43: ...they loved praise from men more than praise from God.


Taking what is given to us and perverting, misusing, 
Wanting more, stealing what isn't ours.
We place value on worldly things, toss away what should be a cherished gift. 
We miss the big picture and focus on our own agenda. 

Mary poured out her expensive perfume on feet. 
Christ poured out his blood for sinners.
