[Matthew 26:14-25, Holy Wednesday]
On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/08/26), Hank continues to provide an overview of the days of Holy Week, picking up with Holy Wednesday, otherwise known as Spy Wednesday. For on the Wednesday of the last week of Christ's earthly sojourn, Judas became a spy for the enemies of the Messiah. On this day, the ancient Church commemorates the ultimate in contrasts: a prostitute transformed into a pure bride in contrast to a chosen disciple who conspires with sinful men to betray the King of Truth.Hank also answers the following questions:I have a friend who is a member of Rodney Howard-Browne's church. If he believes in the essentials, how does that make his ministry a cult, and how can I explain that to my friend? Nancy - PA (15:46)What is your take on sola scriptura now as an Orthodox Christian, and do you think it is biblical? Chris - Seattle, WA (19:33)I heard you say the other day that there was no rapture. Am I incorrect, or did you actually say that? Charles - Dexter, MO (23:04)

Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
April 1, 2026
The passion according to St. Luke has an account not in any of the other gospels - Jesus brought before Herod. Here we learn of Jesus bearing shame and mockery in our place.
The gospel passage appointed for the Wednesday in Holy Week is John 13:21-32. This week Water Daily will look at the gospel for each day and reflect from the perspective of one the people on the fringes of the story. We too are on the fringes of this story and are invited to come into its heart. May these holy men and women draw us closer.

Today, we have a reflection on the significance of Holy Week, focusing specifically on the events of Holy Wednesday and the transition into the Paschal Triduum. We highlight the betrayal of Judas as a fulfillment of ancient prophecies and an essential part of the divine script leading to salvation. Central to the discussion is the concept of human freedom, suggesting that existence and the ability to choose are gifts, even when people use their will to turn away from God. We further explain the liturgical importance of the Chrism Mass and the Mass of the Lord's Supper, which commemorate the establishment of the priesthood and the Eucharist. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to embrace their own sufferings and challenges as they prepare for heaven, viewing life as a journey of rising and falling in faith.

Palm Sunday through Holy Wednesday - according to Matthew
In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the harmony of the Gospels by examining Christ's teaching on the Last Judgment found in Matthew 25. He explains the significance of Christ's second coming as judge, the separation of the sheep from the goats, and the individual nature of divine judgment based on faith and repentance rather than deeds alone. Fr. Matthias discusses the necessity of baptism, confession, and communion for salvation and addresses common misunderstandings about faith and works. Moving into Holy Wednesday, Fr. Matthias highlights the anointing of Christ with costly oil as preparation for His burial and connects this to His impending betrayal by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. The study includes reflections on serving others as serving Christ, the spiritual challenges faced even by those close to Jesus, and the deeper theological meaning behind these pivotal events in Holy Week.#HarmonyOfTheGospels #LastJudgement #HolyWednesday #BibleStudy #FrMatthiasShehad #ChristianFaith #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
[Matthew 26:14-25, Holy Wednesday]
A meditation preached at Kintore College on April 15, 2025, Holy Wednesday. Matt 26, 25: One of the Twelve, the man called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What are you prepared to give me if I hand him over to you?' They paid him thirty silver pieces, and from that moment he looked for an opportunity to betray him. Such painful words, at an agonizing time for our Lord. He was chosen as one of the apostles. One for who he had dreams. The most painful realities are not physical. It is the weight of abandonment, betrayal and rejection.Music: Michael Lee, of TorontoThumbnail: Giotto, Betrayal of Jesus, fresco in Padua, Scrovegni chapel 1304.
In our Holy Wednesday Message from our combined service with St. Columb's Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Natalie Houghtby-Haddon shares about Jesus's all-embracing love, which takes in Peter, Judas, and even each of us.

Scott Hubbard | When a woman poured out a year's worth of perfume upon Jesus, some saw loss, but he saw love. Some called it waste, but he called it worship.
This is a re-release of Episode 39 of Season 3, which is a Holy Wednesday meditation on Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus invites all who are weary to come to Him to find rest for their souls. We are to learn from Him because He is humble. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

Send us a textHey friends! In today's episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I'm sharing straight from the heart. It's Holy Wednesday, and I'm reflecting on my journey through Lent, the lessons I've learned about forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness!), and how my relationship with God continues to grow.I open up about some of my habits—yes, even shopping during Lent—and how they've become little signposts on this path of self-discovery. We dive into why communication and connection matter so much, especially in today's world. And I talk about the joy of being back to coaching—what a gift it is to walk alongside others as they find their own freedom and happiness.If you've ever struggled with letting go, or just need a little encouragement today, this episode is for you. We're all on a journey, and it's never too late to start fresh.

The Community of St Gregory the Great sing the Gregorian Chant Mass for Holy Wednesday. Recorded live at Southgate House on 16 April 2025.
We are deep into Holy Week, and there is a lot going on. We see a woman with an alabaster box doing something we call worship but she called simple obedience. There's the reason it's referred to as Spy Wednesday, Judas makes a deal with the elders, and so much more. I'm so thankful you've come along on this Holy Week journey with me.
"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed." Christ shows especially in Luke the nature of His kingdom as upside down from the world. The disciples argue about who is the greatest. Pilate and Herod plot against Jesus. But Jesus comes as One Who Serves.
There are two things we can reflect on this Holy Wednesday. First, Jesus knew Judas' mind, heart, and soul, yet embraced him still. Pinatawad Niya si Judas. What grace and love our Jesus demonstrates, even and especially to those who have caused Him the most pain!All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show
Matins is a bit of a tough one. The invitatory stays the same, so you get the hang of that. The responsories have a bit of variation and in Lent where the Te Deum is not said and instead there's a third responsory, “Felix namquam”. I'm singing the one from the Baronius Press book, which comes from Hartker's Nocturnale.But here is Matins for Sunday, Monday and Thursday from Septuagesima Sunday through to Holy Wednesday or Holy Saturday if you're praying in private.I've included the optional ending in case you don't go straight into Lauds. Feel free to skip this if you have Lauds queued up ready to roll.

Very similar to the last two posts, just subbing out the Psalms for the 3rd Nocturn. This recording was plagued by bird noises. First take it was Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, second take my voice was audibly much more tired and one chicken was hanging around, making her presence felt. So here you can hear one psalm from the first take and two psalms from the second take and you might guess which is which.Matins is a bit of a tough one.

A guided meditation: Did you know that before there was a Last Supper, there was a First Supper, when Jesus was prepared to endure the terrible events of the rest of Holy Week by the love of his friends. In particular, one woman anointed him with costly perfume, tears and laughter, intimacy and grief mingling together as it ran down, and the house was filled with the odor of holiness, of love. It's good to remember as we face our own hard choices, our struggle for justice is fueled best not just by righteousness but by love. Who do you love so much? (Mark 14:3-9)This service is part of our "Step by Step: A Slow Walk Through Holy Week" series for Lent where we're spending an entire Sunday with each of the days of Holy Week, listening not just for the "what" happens to Jesus by the "whys" that take him there. This Sunday represents "Holy Wednesday."Join us for worship Sundays @ 10am EDT, on-site & online via Zoom.
