“The Christian faith is the most exciting drama that ever staggered the imagination of man…” - Dorothy Sayers

In Matthew 26, we find a marked contrast between the love of Mary and the treachery of Judas.

Matthew is prompted to recall a dramatic and heartfelt display of devotion.

This text completes the fifth and final discourse, or teaching time, of Jesus in Matthew’s Gospel.

This passage clearly presents Jesus as prophet without equal.

Here is Jesus’ last public teaching recorded in Matthew’s Gospel.

In this text, we reach the climax of Jesus’ interactions with the Jewish elite.

In the last days before the Passover and his crucifixion, Jesus does verbal battle with the religious and political elite.

This passage provides the only inspired account from Jesus’ youth.

Thank you for joining me in considering this text!
