Threshold Bible Study (Part 2)

2011 Second Place Winner, Scripture - Catholic Media Association

The second half of Matthew's Gospel moves from the Transfiguration to the Resurrection, announcing Jesus as the world s true King. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus bring the hopes of ancient Israel to their dramatic climax, linking Jesus royal character to his humble service and self-sacrificing love. This study completes the unique portrait of Jesus developed in the first half of Matthew s Gospel and offers firm guidance for the Church and disciples today.
