Matthew 26:1-13

Matthew 26:1-13

1. Let us observe how careful our Lord is to recall the attention of His disciples to His own death.
2. Let us observe what honor Christ loves to put on those who honor Him.
3. Last, but not least, we see in this incident a blessed foretaste of things that will yet take place in the day of judgment.

"We can never attach too much importance to the atoning death of Christ. It is the leading fact in the word of God, on which the eyes of our soul ought to be ever fixed. Without the shedding of his blood, there is no remission of sin. It is the cardinal truth on which the whole system of Christianity hinges. Without it the Gospel is an arch without a key-stone, a fair building without a foundation, a solar system without a sun."

"In that great day no honor done to Christ on earth shall be found to have been forgotten. The speeches of parliamentary orators, the exploits of warriors, the works of poets and painters, shall not be mentioned in that day. But the least work that the weakest Christian woman has done for Christ, or His members, shall be found written in a book of everlasting remembrance."
