AI generated Summary: This sermon vividly portrays the unfolding events leading to Jesus's crucifixion, highlighting themes of devotion, betrayal, and ultimate sacrifice. It contrasts the extravagant act of anointing by a woman, which Jesus affirms as a prophetic gesture honoring his impending burial and ensuring her memorial in the gospel, with the calculated treachery of Judas and the disciples' initial abandonment. Through the Passover meal and institution of the Eucharist, Jesus establishes a new covenant while foretelling his betrayal and suffering, culminating in his arrest and subsequent trial before the Sanhedrin. The narrative underscores the tension between human frailty—demonstrated by Peter's denial and the disciples' fear—and divine purpose, ultimately portraying Jesus as the obedient Son of God enduring suffering to fulfill Scripture and secure redemption.
