Ruin Reveals True Purpose
Jesus speaks of consequences in terms of 'ruin', illustrating the idea that true destruction arises when something is released from its intended purpose. The term 'apoleia' emphasizes the concept of undoing, where losing one's purpose leads to lack of fulfillment. An example is shared where a vase, designed to hold plants, is deemed ruined if it can no longer serve this function. Similarly, the disciples criticize the wasting of expensive oil on Jesus, reflecting on the missed opportunity to fulfill its value. Thus, using things against their designed purpose leads to their ruin, demonstrating that true worth is found in aligning with intended function.
