from Living Hope - Sunday Morning Podcast · host Living Hope
In Matthew 26, we see two very different responses to Jesus: a woman who pours out costly perfume in worship, and Judas who hands Jesus over for silver. Side by side, their actions force us to wrestle with one personal question: how much do we truly value Jesus?This message invites us to reflect on more than being around church or familiar with Scripture. It calls us to examine whether we really treasure Jesus as Savior and King. As we remember His sacrifice on our behalf, we are reminded that He loved us with the ultimate act of grace—and that He is worthy of our wholehearted love, worship, and devotion.Memorable Lines & Takeaways• “The question is not whether you are around Jesus, but whether you truly value Him.”• “She gave what was costly because she believed Jesus was worth more.”• “A good use of what we have is not always the best use when Jesus is before us.”• “Christ loved us with the ultimate sacrifice, and He is worthy of our wholehearted devotion.”Bible Study Questions1. What do you notice about the difference between the woman’s response to Jesus and Judas’ response?2. Why was the woman’s act of worship so meaningful to Jesus?3. How can someone be close to church activity and still not truly value Christ?4. What are some things in life that can compete with Jesus for first place in our hearts?5. How does Jesus’ sacrificial love change the way we think about worship and devotion?6. What is one area of your life where you need to show greater surrender to Jesus?7. How can you practically express your love for Christ this week with all that you have and all that you are?
