The Cost of Discipleship: Matthew Chapters 21-25

Published: March 19, 2023, 11 a.m.

b'This week, we’re talking about Holy Week! But Matthew’s Gospel is so dense, we only get through Monday and Tuesday!\\nThis passage starts with Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem (often called Palm Sunday but spoiler alert: it didn’t happen on a Sunday!). We look at Jesus’s temple protest and some of the ways that story has fueled antisemitism (sometimes even unwittingly).\\nWe talk about what it means that Jesus left Jerusalem that night, the wild story about the Withering Fig Tree, and more activity at the temple. And the (in)famous passage about sorting sheep from goats and are you going to burn in hell for eternity?!?!\\nThere’s lot in this passage about the cost of discipleship, who Jesus is, why he’s here, what this all means, and what this passage asks of YOU here and now.\\n \\nNew Interpreters Commentary Volume VII\\nScary Things Series, podcast episode\\nSheep and Goats podcast episode\\nBlack Pink\\nAbolition Sanctuary, Dr. Nikia Smith and her podcast interview: Abolition As Spiritual Practice\\n \\nJoin the online community Sanctuary Collective.\\xa0\\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.\\n \\nEpisode Transcript\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Soul Winner’s For Christ\\nThe post The Cost of Discipleship: Matthew Chapters 21-25 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
