b'We\\u2019re at the final episode of our eight part series on Matthew! And here is where we come to crucifixion and resurrection.. The End\\u2026 but really, the Beginning. \\nIt\\u2019s important for us to call out and recognize in these texts the significant polemic against the Jewish leaders, even if most of Matthew\\u2019s audience still considered themselves to be Jewish. The context is crucial here for us to not continue the anti-semitic rhetoric that \\u201cthe Jews killed Jesus\\u201d, but underline that the Roman Empire killed Jesus. \\nWe have stories of the anointing of Jesus, the last supper, his betrayal, the trial, and subsequent punishment of death. From the story of the resurrection, we really look at who Jesus entrusted the continued work of discipleship. \\nIt is not to perfect angels that this work is given to continue, but to the doubting, flawed, messy, complicated people. How can we embrace that same call to follow Jesus today?\\nResources referenced in the episode:\\nJourney Into The Bible\\nRituals for Resistance & Resilience\\nCelebrating Jewish Empowerment & Teaching the Masses Via Tik-Tok with @milli_no_so_vanilli\\nJoin the online community Sanctuary Collective.\\xa0\\n \\nEpisode Transcript\\n\\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.\\nThe post The End.
