b'For part 5 of our series on Matthew, we look at the death of John the Baptist, some miracle stories, and Jesus\\u2019 call to treason. We see Jesus in these chapters take a political and active stance against Rome. Here is where the Disciples are tested and called to really follow the teachings of this new community. There is so much in these passages that relate to the time, to previous stories of the Israelites, to the inclusive nature of Jesus\\u2019 movement taking in outsiders. With this, we can really examine what it means for us today to \\u201ctake up the cross\\u201d and follow Jesus and to consider the treasonous acts we may be called to participate in.\\xa0\\n \\nJoin the online community Sanctuary Collective.\\xa0\\n \\nDigging the Details Workshop\\nPeter Staley\\nHow to Survive a Plague\\n \\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\nPhoto by mahdi rezaei onUnsplash\\n\\n \\nThe post Called To Treason: Matthew Chapters 14-16 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
