This sermon speaks into the question of how precious is the Son of Man to you?
There are two responses shown in these verses. The first is viewing Jesus as a person to gain things from and to use to store up treasures for ourselves as done by Judas. This response falls well short as it doesn’t give Jesus the true worship that he deserves for who he is and what he has done.
The second response is to view Jesus as the most glorious and precious gift you have ever received. To have your heart transformed by the amazing love that he demonstrated in laying down his life for your sin. Once this takes root, we should have hearts of extravagant and sacrificial worship as demonstrated by the woman with the oil. We should seek to pour ourselves out as a living sacrifice always at God’s disposal.
We aren’t given the option of choosing a middle ground. So, what response will you choose?
