Sermon 49 of 49
What’s your price on Christ?
Rory Kinnaird, Matthew 26:1-16, 30 November 2025
Rory continues our series in Matthew’s gospel, preaching from Matthew 26:1-16. In this passage we see the Jewish leaders plotting to kill Jesus, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus for a few silver coins, and in-between an amazing scene of a woman pouring very expensive perfume on his head! As Rory unpacks the passage, we see the immense value the woman put on Jesus - showing her love for him - compared with the minute value that Judas puts on him, and we look at the penetrating question: What is Jesus worth to you?
Matthew 26:1-16
26:1 When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4 and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 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 given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14 Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
