What's His Name

In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 26, the disciples ask Jesus where they are supposed to go for the Passover Supper. Jesus said that they should go to a "certain" man. It would be his house in which they would eat the Passover. In Spanish the translation is "so and so," or "what's his name". The rest of this section of the Gospel is all about Judas who got to sit at the table and eat with Jesus.

Now Judas' name is remembered for all time. The fellow who owned the house,
his name is anonymous. Now who would you rather be, an unforgettable name, or anonymous in this story? So then why do you try so hard to be remembered? Anonymous is better than you think when you are doing the Will of the One who made you. If you are loving, but people forget your name, it is not all bad. It might be all good!
