...and [Judas] asked, “How much will you pay me to betray Jesus to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:15 NLT)
Whether you know it or not, Jesus is betrayed all the time for a price. And, people will sell Him out for things worth far less than "thirty pieces of silver." What this shows is that the betrayers don't know the true value of the person of Christ. What a tragedy that Judas didn't recognize the eternal treasure of Jesus and was willing to exchanged Him for temporal treasures that can't last.
