This sermon examines the plot to kill Jesus during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, highlighting the theological significance of the Passover as a foreshadowing of Christ's atoning sacrifice. It explores the betrayal by Judas Iscariot, attributing his actions to the influence of Satan, the love of money, and wounded pride, while emphasizing that God sovereignly used these evil acts to accomplish His redemptive purpose. The message warns believers against the danger of outward religious observance without inward faith, using Judas as a cautionary example of someone who had access to all means of grace yet remained unconverted. It encourages the audience to examine their own hearts for idols and pride, ensuring that the Word of God produces genuine transformation rather than mere intellectual assent. Ultimately, the sermon points to the assurance of God's sovereignty and the necessity of personal faith in Christ for salvation.
