Matthew #15: Christ's Final Crisis
This lesson concludes the book of Matthew by considering the hostility of the religious leaders towards Jesus. The Pharisees and the Sadducees continually seek to trap Jesus, but He thwarts them and rebukes them for their hypocrisy and false teaching. Jesus delivers the Olivet Discourse where he predicts the doom of Jerusalem, and His own second coming, and then tells three parables about His return: the Ten Virgins, the Talents, and the Sheep & the Goats. The lesson concludes with the death and resurrection of Jesus and the Great Commission.

About this Plan
The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.
