Nard, Judas And Democrats — In at least one church this Palm Sunday the story was told of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who took about a pint of pure nard, poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.
One particular disciple became indignant saying that the wildly expensive perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor.
That disciple, of course, was Judas Iscariot who was not so much interested in the poor but in fattening the moneybags since he was the one in control of them and to which he would help himself.
So next time you hear a politician — who would more likely than not belongs to a party that starts with a D — say how you must give to the government to help the poor, remember this story and note that he is the one who is in control of the moneybags.
