The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
2 1“You know that after two days 2the Passover is coming, and 3the Son of Man 4will be delivered up to be crucified. ”
3 5Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in 6the palace of the high priest, whose name was 7Caiaphas,
4 8and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, 9lest there be an uproar among the people. ”

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

6 10Now when Jesus was at 11Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, [a]
7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table.
8 And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and 12given to the poor. ”
10 But 13Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.
11 For 14you always have the poor with you, but 15you will not always have me.
12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it 16to prepare me for burial.
13 Truly, I say to you, wherever 17this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told 18in 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.
