LOVE AND BETRAYAL

I. THE DEATH—vv.

A. Completion—v. . Christ had finished His ministry. He spent about three years teaching and preaching. Not all of Christ’s teachings are recorded in the Bible (). Some Bible teachers feel that only about six weeks of Christ’s teaching are recorded.

B. Crucifixion—v. . Christ is betrayed at the Feast of the Passover, which celebrated Jewish freedom from Egypt (). Even today the Jewish people remember this day.

Keep in mind, Christ was born to die. He lived to be only thirty three years old. His death was necessary ().

II. THE DESIGN—vv.

A. People—v. . The chief priests, the scribes and the elders (older experienced leaders) met at the home of Caiaphas, the high priest.

B. Plan—v. . They wanted to make plans how they could take Christ in a subtle way.

C. Problem—v. . They wanted to be very careful, lest the people at the Passover Feast become angry and create a riot. Really, they knew that they were wrong, but wanted to deceive the people.

III. THE DEVOTION—vv.

A. Person—v. . Simon the Leper. Perhaps he was one of the lepers that Christ healed.

B. Praise—v. . The woman showed her devotion to Christ by pouring an alabaster box of ointment on the body of Christ.

C. Problem—vv. . The disciples complained, saying this was a waste. What we do for Christ is never a waste.

D. Pleasure—vv. . Jesus was pleased with the act of worship. Jesus said she did a good work, and that she was preparing His body for burial (note also v. ).

E. Power—v. . The deed will be remembered through the entire world wherever the gospel is preached.

IV. THE DEGRADATION—vv.

A. Person—v. . Judas, one of the twelve disciples.

B. Price—v. . Judas agreed to sell Christ for thirty pieces of silver, the price of a slave.

C. Plan—v. . After agreeing to sell Christ, Judas sought ways of turning Christ over to His enemies.
