Though the priests tried to appear pious in their actions with Jesus and with Judas’ money, they were following the same old pattern of rejecting God and his messengers.  In this sermon, we realize there is a form of religion that is outwardly pious and ceremonially pure but is really and inwardly in rebellion against God. (Text: Matthew 27:6-10)
