Join us as we wrap up our study in the book of Matthew. In Matthew 28, we learn that making disciples involves baptizing them and introducing them to Christ, teaching them, and teaching them to obey Christ and his teachings.
Matthew 28:1-10
The Christin faith is based on belief in the resurrection of Christ and is a fundamental necessity to salvation. Our responsibility to our faith is to “go and tell.” Joy will be the byproduct of faith and obedience.
Matthew 27:57-66
Evidence
The Burial of Christ is evidence that He did indeed die. No obstacle could keep Him from rising again and no amount of suffering could keep the disciples from testifying of it. The gospel continues to be preached unto this day.
Matthew 27:45-56
Here we see the physical impact of the death of Christ upon the earth. We also learn that His death has opened the way to the spiritual realm and becomes the way to God to those who believe.
Matthew 27:32-44
The Great Exchange
On the cross Jesus experiences the “excruciating” pain of judgement. There He was punished for the sin of mankind and made righteousness available.
Matthew 27:24-31
His Stripes
We are told in various text that Pilot is unable to do what is just and please the Jews at the same time is responsible for the scourging of Jesus. We also are held responsible as our sins require that the wrath of God be satisfied and we know that is by Christ’s stripe we are healed.
Matthew 27:11-23
The Governor and the King
Pilot reveals his character in his willingness to torture Christ knowing that He was innocent. The Jews being blind, chose the thief rather than Jesus. We now have opportunity to chose the sinless Son of God who was given for the sin of mankind.
Matthew 27:1-10
Choices
We seen that Pilot, the Jewish leadership and Judas have all compromised and place value on the wrong things. Judas has regrets but turns to the priests rather than Jesus who offers forgiveness to those who chose Him.
Matthew 26:69-75
The Path of Peter
The power of envy has led the Jewish leadership to convict the innocent messiah. Peter’s downfall begins with him believing the he loves Jesus more than the other disciples and ends with his denying that he even knows Jesus.
Matthew 26:57-68
The Trial
Jesus is brought before the Sanhedrin for an illegitimate trial. The agenda is to see Him killed. Jesus warns of the judgement to come and we learn of the importance of have ones name written in the book of life.
