Crucifixion and Burial Imminent

October 16, 2022 PM, Matthew 26:1-16.

The public ministry of the Lord Jesus has come to an end now. He will spend some more time with the disciples in a private meal and meeting. The chapter ends with Jesus being condemned to die. These 16 verses set the stage for chapters 26-27 of Matthew’s gospel. The rest of the text will show the outworking of the Lord’s betrayal, crucifixion, and burial.

Our Scripture reading was found in 2 Chronicles 30:1-27.
