Matthew 26:1-13

Listen to Matthew 26:1-13

Plot to kill Jesus

1 When Jesus finished speaking all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 " You know that the Passover is two days from now. And the Human One will be handed over to be crucified."
3 Then the chief priests and elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of Caiaphas the high priest.
4 They were plotting to arrest Jesus by cunning tricks and to kill him.
5 But they agreed that it shouldn't happen during the feast so there wouldn't be an uproar among the people.

A woman pouring perfume on Jesus

6 When Jesus was at Bethany visiting the house of Simon, who had a skin disease,
7 a woman came to him with a vase made of alabaster containing very expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' head while he was sitting at dinner.
8 Now when the disciples saw it they were angry and said, "Why this waste?
9 This perfume could have been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor."
10 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, " Why do you make trouble for the woman? She's done a good thing for me.
11 You always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.
12 By pouring this perfume over my body she's prepared me to be buried.
13 I tell you the truth that wherever in the whole world this good news is announced, what she's done will also be told in memory of her."

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Part 2
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Part 2
Jeff Johnson

If you’re a regular listener, you know we’ve spent several months going verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. We’ve now reached a pivotal section in this account of the Lord’s earthly life and ministry.  In chapter sixteen a plot against Jesus begins to unfold, and we have a very touching scene where Mary is worshipping at the feet of Jesus.  While some were critical of her thinking it was a waste, Jesus saw it for what it truly was… worship.  And it should inspire us all to do the same.  

So You Think it's a Conspiracy Theory? Part 2
So You Think it's a Conspiracy Theory? Part 2
James Kaddis

We’ve all seen shows or news reports on TV that feature a grand conspiracy of some sort!  And we shake our head in disgust as we consider the damage left behind.  Today on Light on the Hill we’ll draw your attention to what is no doubt the biggest conspiracy of all time.  A plot to destroy mankind and the Messiah!  What may surprise you is who is behind it all.  I’m happy to say it was all thwarted.  In fact God would use it all to accomplish His purpose.
