Matthew 26:1-13

Listen to Matthew 26:1-13

The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 1When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,
2 "2You know that after two days 3the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be 4handed over for crucifixion."
3 5Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in 6the court of the high priest, named 7Caiaphas;
4 and they 8plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him.
5 But they were saying, "Not during the festival, 9otherwise * a riot might occur among the people."

The Precious Ointment

6 10Now when Jesus was in 11Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,
7 12a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why * this waste?
9 "For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."
10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother * the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.
11 "For you always have 13the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.
12 "For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it 14to prepare Me for burial.
13 "Truly I say to you, 15wherever * this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of 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.
