Gospel of Matthew - Matthew 26:14-46 - "Done For Us"

As we look at this portion of scripture this morning, there is just so much going on. A careful study of these scriptures brings a greater depth to our understanding of Christ’s mission, the fulfillment of scripture, and the establishment of a New Covenant. Jesus would be that sacrificial Lamb that was slain for the atonement of our sins. We see Judas conspiring with the priests against him. We see Jesus explaining to His disciples that He will be betrayed. We see Judas hypocritically asking, “is it me?” We see the fulfillment of the prophecy. We see Jesus preparing for His appointed hour. We see the final Passover of the Old Testament taking place, and a New Covenant instituted. We see his disciples asleep in those final hours. We find out that Peter will deny Him. We see Jesus praying to His Father and yielding to His will. Jesus will fulfill the scriptures.
