Podcast 302 -- Battle and Temple Matthew 4:1-11, 12:22-29, 21:12-13

Jesus of Nazareth was just one of many personalities in the ancient Middle East who claimed to the prophesized Jewish Messiah. So why do we, as Christians, testify that he alone is the genuine Savior? Author N.T. Wright says the critical difference is in how Jesus redefined historical, scriptural and cultural expectations as to the enemy the Messiah would battle and consequently, how he would cleanse the Temple. Join us as we continue our study of Wright's Simply Jesus: A New Vision of Who He Was, What He Did and Why He Matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
