Just in time for Holy Week, Daniel and Erick have come to Matthew's account of the death and burial of Jesus. What does it mean to be "forsaken by God?" What is the significance of the veil being torn in two? What's going on with dead people rising at the death of Christ? And how does it all enable us to mock death? They talk about all of this. Have a listen!
This week Daniel and Erick talk about the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus. What is going on with the scarlet robe and crown of thorns? Jesus is called the King of the Jews in His suffering. Why is this and the cross itself so offensive? What is going on with the two thieves? How does all of this destroy a theology of glory? Have a listen!
Daniel and Erick talk about Judas "repenting" for the betrayal of Jesus. The terrible response of the religious leaders and the end result of misapplying Law & Gospel. Why doesn't Jesus defend Himself against lies? How do we see ourselves in the release of the criminal Barabbas? What does the public shaming of Christ tell us about how to deal with sinners now? They talk about all this and more. Have a listen!
Jesus is brought before the religious leaders. People are lying about Him but it's the truth that ultimately offends everyone. How is Christianity both exclusive and radically inclusive at the same time and why do we have a problem with that? Peter denies Jesus three times despite having witnessed all that Jesus had done. Is our faith so different? Daniel and Erick discuss all this and more in this episode. Have a listen!
