Gateway Church
Gateway Church (Parkesburg Campus) March 7, 2021
This March as we approach our April celebrations of Good Friday and Easter, we invite you to engage in a series of conversations inspired from the "Passion Week" of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew's Gospel. We will look at the events and personalities leading up to the crucifixion, and celebrate victory over death through the resurrection of our LORD. Jesus was put on trial in the 1st century, but when we immerse ourselves in His story, and identify with Peter, Judas, and all the people involved in the "Passion Week", we find clarity. When we realize that the entire human race is really on trial, we see ourselves more clearly, Our hope is that you will see yourself in the betrayal, abandonment, accusation, and punishment of Jesus...because if you do, you will learn why Jesus came, and why He had to do what He did.

Spikenard symbolized the very best in ancient cultures. It had a strong symbolism for marriage, a way to display their true love.
Spikenard was also bought by prostitutes, to flaunt– by way of a scent– that they are available for a price.

How tethered am I to earthly possessions? How tethered am I to my sin? What am I unwilling to hand over to Jesus to use for His Kingdom?
Judas [Matthew 26:17-30]

Betrayed Jesus to declare allegiance to the world out of status, possessions, and acceptance.
When the disciples heard: ‘This is my covenant to you, take and drink,’ they heard… “Will you marry me?”
Jesus knew he was proposing to an adulterous, ungrateful, sinful
people, yet He did it anyway.
Since Jesus was betrayed for me, my response is to be allegiant to my groom.
Peter [Matthew 26:31-35]
