matthew 27

Discover the profound moments that shaped Christianity as we navigate through the complexity of Matthew 27. From the political intrigue surrounding Jesus' trial before Pilate to the haunting demise of Judas, these narratives aren't just ancient texts – they're transformative experiences that continue to resonate deeply with our faith. Listen and be moved by the fulfillment of prophecies that add credence to Jesus' mission, and the striking human element of remorse and tragedy that accompanies Judas' betrayal. The decisions made in these accounts, whether motivated by political savvy or reverence, have left an indelible mark on the world.

Dive into the mystery of the resurrection accounts that challenge our understanding of miracles. Could Matthew's description of risen Old Testament saints be a bold theological statement, or is it a testament to the very real power of Christ's death and resurrection? We grapple with these questions and highlight the unwavering conviction of the apostles, whose steadfast testimony serves as a cornerstone of our beliefs. As we explore the tension between symbolic storytelling and literal interpretation, we invite you to consider the reasons for trusting in the miraculous – reasons that have endured through the ages.

We culminate with a powerful recounting of Jesus' trial and crucifixion, an episode that paints a vivid tableau of sacrifice and fulfillment. Witness the darkened skies, the torn temple curtain, and the transformative recognition of a Roman centurion as the very fabric of our understanding is woven together. This journey through Matthew 27 doesn't just recount historical events; it calls us to reflect on how they shape our comprehension of God's plan. Join us as we seek to understand the roles we all play in this divine narrative and how our lives continue to be shaped by these pivotal moments in history.

Throughout Matthew 27, the theme of fulfillment of prophecy looms large as events unfold according to the Scriptures. From Judas' betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 11:12-13, to Jesus' crucifixion alongside criminals, in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:12, every detail underscores the divine plan at work. The chapter emphasizes Jesus' submission to God's will, even in the face of intense suffering and humiliation, demonstrating His unwavering commitment to redeeming mankind.

Moreover, Matthew 27 portrays the profound darkness and despair that envelops the earth as Jesus dies on the cross. The moment of His death is marked by an earthquake and the tearing of the temple veil, symbolizing the profound significance of His sacrifice. The chapter concludes with Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus, courageously requesting His body for bur

New Testament - Matthew 27:31-53

Jesus was crucified on a cross like a common criminal, even though he had never done anything wrong. While he was on the cross, the earth became dark. The huge curtain in the temple in Jerusalem suddenly ripped in half at the exact moment Jesus died outside the city. There was also an earthquake. The day of the crucifixion was a terrible day.

Jesus was innocent, but he was killed.

Bible verses used in this episode:

• Matthew 27:32-56
• Luke 23:26-49

Outline:

1. Going to the cross (Matthew 27:32-56)
2. Jesus on the cross (Matthew 27:35-50)
3. Reactions to his death (Matthew 27:51-56)

Tips for teaching:

• Introduce the story by showing pictures or examples of crosses (on churches, jewellery, cemeteries, hospitals, logos, etc.) Ask children what crosses they have seen.
• Explain that crucifixion was punishment for people who had done very bad things.  It was different for Jesus.  He had never done anything bad.  Instead, Jesus was being punished for all the bad things that OTHERS do.
• Draw an outline of a cross.  Guide children in filling in the blank space inside the cross in one of the following ways:
  • Write words and impressions about what happened at the crucifixion.
  • Jesus took the punishment for every person in the world.  Fill the cross with as many names as you can think of.
  • Older children can write their own personal sins inside the cross.
• For adults: Make a cross out of rough wood and ask adults to take turns holding the cross and thinking about its significance.  For a better experience, the cross should be large enough to hold and pass around from person to person while remaining seated.
• If using PowerPoint, include a slide of a significant archaeological discovery in Jerusalem a half-century ago.   Here is a link to the Wikipedia photo and description.

A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. 
 
At the intersection of humanity's brokenness and God's divine grace stands the cross. Good Friday is good because it unveils what is true, what is real. The cross shows us the depths of our brokenness and need of a savior, and the amazing reality of God's love, and all His salvation means to us. Reflect on the ancient Greek breath prayer "Kyrie eleison", and the Latin prayer "Agnus dei qui tollis peccata mundi".

We examine the events of the final hours of Jesus' life as detailed in Chapter 27 or Matthew's Gospel. Experience the intensity, the questions, and the drama in our four-segment Good Friday worship experience featuring reader Mike Klier and Pastor Rob Bentz.

In the closing words of Jesus' final teaching before His crucifixion, He paints the picture of a shepherd separating sheep from goats. This is to teach us a critical lesson: our faith reveals our identity and determines our ultimate destination. Our current series, What Now: How Tomorrow Shapes Today, concludes with a hard look at our own faith in the anticipation of Christ’s return. Listen as Pastor Ben Hixson shares Part 7, The Shepherd King, as we prepare for that glorious day!
