    An Extravagant Gesture

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 10, 2001
    based on 81 ratings
     | 9,749 views

    Extravagant gestures are an appropriate - even necessary - expression of love.

    Do you know how much it cost? $15,000, that’s how much. And that’s just for the perfume! The bottle she broke was worth nearly that much on its own. I can’t see why Jesus was so upset with us for complaining about the waste. I mean, I saw his point later on, but how could we have known then? ...read more

    Text: Matthew 26.14-16, 26.49-50 A kiss: a symbol of love and affection. A kiss on the cheek in these bible times was a symbol of friendship and affection. I want you to hold your kiss (hersheys kiss candy)till later for me, but what is that causes a man who has seen the intimate details of ...read more

    A reminder that we should stop betraying Jesus.

    In the eyes of a Christian no one is more despicable than Judas Iscariot. For 30 pcs. of silver he betrayed the Lord Jesus, what a misdeal. He could have gotten alot more. Well did you know that many times in our life we betrayed Him? For much much less. The following areas of our life is where we ...read more

    Judas shows us just how close a person can get to Jesus and yet not believe.

And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,051 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

    Mary’s act of love became a world wide memorial to her. Judas act for money became an unmemorial as the Pharisees used the betrayal money to bury strangers.

    One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Joey was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked ...read more

    Just as our society has memorials to remember significant people and events, so does the New Testament offer us memorials to remember significant people and events.

    Great Memorials of the New Testament Text: Matthew 26:6-13 Introduction: Memorial Day, also called Decoration Day, honors U. S. citizens who have died in war.

    The greatest news is not that Paul knows Christ, or that John knows Christ, or that Peter knows Christ, but that we can know Jesus Christ, too. That is the greatest news of all!

We call these events, "The Passion of Jesus." Here we see unfold His intense love for us all. Matthew begins with three ...read more

    50-DAY SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE A look at the life of Judas to see what happens when dreams die, so we don’t have to miss the resurrection.

    Running after dreams without God is futile. When we achieve our own ambitions apart from God’s dream we come up empty. ▸ Alexander the Great was not satisfied, even when he had subdued the nations of world. He wept because there were no more worlds to conquer; Alexander died at an early ...read more

    What others will remember us for - according to Jesus.

    What will your memorial be? If someone looks back on your life years from now, what will they remember about you? None of us will probably have our names in the history books of the future. What is more likely to happen is that we will be remembered by those whose lives we’ve touched. The woman ...read more

    Salvation Through Conflict

    Contributed by Jim Kane on Sep 3, 2002
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,889 views

    The salvation that Jesus Christ has made possible for us came through conflict resolution.

    What comes to mind when you hear the word "conflict?" Anger? Fear? Anxiety? A person’s name or face? A memory of a past event or a word spoken that you want to forget but can’t? Some of us fear conflict, like the grass in the African proverb, “when bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.” ...read more
