The Gospel of Matthew (Easter)

We reach the conclusion of our lenten cyber bible study on the Gospel of Matthew with this video on Easter.

I appreciate the video's reminder that the first people to hear the Gospel of Matthew were already followers of Jesus. Even if we already know the end of the story (the tomb is empty), N.T. Wright suggests that we read the gospel again, this time reflecting on what it means to live out Jesus' teachings in the context of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus.

Happy Easter!
