What causes a person to pour out everything they have in love and loyalty to Christ? In this message from the 2025 Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, Reformation: Church, Family, and Everyday Life, Ian Hamilton takes us to Matthew 26 to witness the extravagant devotion of a woman who saw what others missed: the supreme worth of Jesus.
With warmth and clarity, Dr. Hamilton reminds us that Reformation Christianity was never first about slogans or even chiefly about what Christ gives, but about Christ Himself—His person, His work, His ongoing intercession, and His coming glory.
➡️ Watch now and rediscover why Jesus Christ alone is worthy of your highest affection, your deepest trust, and your lifelong obedience.
Have you ever in your life done a beautiful thing for the Savior?
📖 Passage: Matthew 26:6–13
🎙️ Theme: The preeminence of Christ in the life of the believer
🕯️ Topics include:
The call to radical, undivided allegiance to Jesus Christ
Why the most precious human relationships must take second place to the Savior
The beauty and cost of true devotion
Christ as the center of Gospel proclamation
The Reformation’s recovery of Christ’s centrality and sufficiency
“The great challenge of mission is not first to preach the need, but to preach Jesus Christ.”
— Ian Hamilton
