This teaching invites listeners into one of the most powerful contrasts in the Gospel of Matthew as the 16-month journey through this book comes to a close.

In Matthew 26:1–16, we stand on the edge of the cross and watch two radically different responses to Jesus unfold. A woman pours out an entire year’s wages in expensive perfume to anoint Jesus—an act the disciples quickly label as waste. But Jesus calls it worship. Meanwhile, Judas calculates the value of Jesus’ life and sells Him for thirty pieces of silver. One response is wholehearted and costly; the other is calculated and self-serving.

This message explores what worship really is—and what it isn’t. Worship is not limited to music or moments in a service; it’s a personal response to the worth of Jesus. True worship is often costly, misunderstood, and even foolish by the world’s standards, yet it echoes for eternity. As the message unfolds, listeners are challenged to examine what they truly treasure, how “domesticated” their devotion may have become, and whether their lives reflect the incomparable worth of Christ.

At its core, this teaching asks a deeply personal question: What is Jesus worth to you? Because in the Kingdom of God, worth always dictates worship—and Jesus is worthy of everything. www.movementcolumbus.com
