Intentions can change equations

Was 300<30?

Confusing!

Yes, the equation of Judas was completely wrong. When Mary has brought an expensive perfume [Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi, that grows in the hills of northern India)] about the price more than three hundred denarii (made of silver) and annointed Jesus' head (Mk 14:3) and feet and wiped His feet with her hair, Judas and others criticized her until Jesus mediated. 

We can read that Judas was a thief, stealing money from the money bag. I think Judas wanted the perfume bottle to be given as a gift and then later in time he could sell it and make money out of it. But his greed for money was not successful at this point of time. 

But Judas sold Jesus for only thirty silver coins which is way too much low when compared with three hundred silver coins. This shows how much Judas was possessed with greed for money. Judas made a pact with the chief priests to betray Jesus. The value for money may matter for Judas but for Jesus adoration and love towards Him mattered much, than above all else.

Proverbs 4:24 says, "Guard your heart above all else/diligence, for it is the source of life". Heart in hebrew is "leb", which usually refers to inner self, since it is considered to be the seat of one's nature. We need to gaurd it carefully from the worldly things and concentrate more on godly things. We are bought by the price of the blood of Jesus (Galatians 13:3a), and we are His people. So, let's be warned by that "..but one in a hurry to get rich will not go unpunished", (Pr 28:20), which Judah had at the end.
