Day 50..."Sin Offerings, Extravagant Love, Betrayal"
Leviticus chapter four offers specifics for sin offerings including individuals, congregation, leaders, and common people. The Psalm again points to the magnificience of Zion..."Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God shines forth." In the Matthew reading we have two contrasting stories as Jesus is annointed with expensive oil. The disciples are outraged at the waste thinking the money could have been given to the poor. In phony concern for the poor, Judas will then proceed to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The emotions of tenderness and love proceed quickly to the outrage of betrayal.

In Zechariah 11:13, God tells us that 30 pieces of silver will be the price paid and what becomes of the silver. Some believe that these writings could not have been so accurately written before the events.... so, they believe they were written after to deceive many. However, God has said, "He will confirm His Word in the mouths of two or three witnesses" & "tells what will happen before it happens" to show HE is God.
