As Holy Week begins, the message centers on Matthew 26 and the ways Scripture points to Jesus as the promised Messiah and the sacrificial Lamb. The sermon highlights how Matthew repeatedly ties Jesus’ life, death, and actions to Old Testament prophecy, especially the Passover in Exodus, showing that Jesus’ crucifixion was not an accident but God’s saving plan fulfilled in history. It contrasts Mary’s costly anointing of Jesus with Judas’s betrayal for a small sum, emphasizing Jesus’ immeasurable worth and the depth of His love, seen again in His servant-hearted washing of the disciples’ feet. The message closes with the institution of communion, reminding believers to treat it as a sacred act of remembrance and self-examination, and inviting those who are broken or unsure to come to Christ, whose blood brings forgiveness, redemption, and new life.
