Matthew 26:1-16 (#91.2024.03.24)

Beholding Bible Truth

Welcome to another episode of Beholding Bible Truth, where Scott continues studying the Book of Matthew. In this episode, he takes a look at the Passover and jumps into the idea of why the shedding of Jesus' blood is a game-changer for sin and forgiveness.

Scott discusses how the Old Testament festivities are a sneak peek at Jesus' big rescue mission, and how a world obsessed with winning and power, Jesus flipped the script by choosing the cross, a symbol of weakness turned strength in God's playbook.

And if you've ever been curious about what a pricey perfume pour-over and thirty silver coins have to do with each other, stick around. Scott talks about that, alongside a deep dive into the challenging truth about where our allegiance lies in the tug-of-war between heavenly and worldly treasures.
