Reflections with Andy - Spy Wednesday - Matthew 16: 1-16

On Holy Wednesday, often called “Spy Wednesday,” we see a quiet but pivotal moment in Holy Week where Judas Iscariot agrees to betray Jesus Christ, set alongside the beautiful act of a woman anointing Jesus with costly ointment in Gospel of Matthew 26. While the disciples focus on practicality and missed opportunity, Jesus highlights the deeper meaning of her act—an expression of love and preparation for His burial—reminding us not to overlook beauty in our faith. Judas, likely frustrated that Jesus was not becoming the kind of Messiah he expected, chooses betrayal when Jesus doesn’t meet his expectations. The passage challenges us to reflect on our own hearts: will we trust and follow Jesus even when we don’t understand His plans, or will we try to shape Him into what we want Him to be?Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
