Abstract: This paper underscores the fact that service in whatever level or area particularly in Christianity has some very serious implications. It either leads to commendation or condemnation of the one who renders it. However, the result of whether it is of reward or repercussion depends on an individual’s deeds in compliance or rejection of Christian norms and values such as love, faithfulness, righteousness, justice, obedience, holiness and so on. It is demonstrated in Mary Bethany(Mary of Bethany) and Judas Iscariot’s interactions with Jesus (Mt. 26:6-13, 14-16, 20-25, 47-50; Mk. 14:3-9,10-11, 17-21, 43-46; Lk.10:38-42; 7:36-50; Jn. 12:1-8; 11:1-2,28-30). While Mary stands out as an example of one who deserves to be commended, Judas fits in as one condemned. Thus, the paper examines their historical background, encounter, services and their corresponding relationship to Jesus as well as the society. In the same vein, it draws on their implications and applies same to caution, enlighten, teach and enjoin Christians on the need to render justifiable services to God and humanity in order to avail themselves of its benefits rather than of disservice and condemnation.
