The season of Lent is a season for searching the soul. As you study Matthew 26–28, you will search your own soul through the lenses of the people closest to Jesus in his last hours. The last three chapters of Matthew are a juxtaposition of stories.
This seven-session course will address Communion, Jesus' deserters, his submission to the Father, and his crucifixion. While the theme of rejection runs through these chapters in Matthew, there is good news: joy of the resurrection that you can experience with new eyes.

Excellent study provoking self-searching thought. There are some errors in the Week Six study: It references John 27 when it is clearly Matthew 27; and Week Six is title Four Agonies of the Cross when the point talk about Four IRONIES of the Cross. I assume this is a typrographical error.
