John 12: 1-8, tells the story of Mary anointing the feet of Jesus with expensive ointment. Judas' response reminds me of the disagreements between conservatives and liberals. Piety versus social justice, if you will. One is concerned with the cost. The other with service to the people.
Why didn't Jesus stop Mary after she had used half of the ointment? Then both sides of the argument would have been satisfied, if only a little.
Another question, to ask Jesus.
