Jesus is Political: Matthew Chapters 3 & 4
Manage episode 355159707 series 1047428
In the second episode of our series on Matthew we cover chapters 3 and 4 and there is so much richness and goodness here. We really see Jesus as intentionally political and there is a theme of politics throughout these texts. We dig into what it means to follow the Kingdom of Heaven/God when you are living under empire, what discipleship and following the teachings of Jesus looked like in the time of Matthew and what it means to us now. Reading the Bible doesn’t have to be boring when you start to tease out some of the interesting bits here like the political implications of the word “worship” and how the temptations of Jesus by Satan were directly connected to the view a marginalized group had of the Roman Empire at the time!
