Gathering to The Messiah

Matthew: Countdown to Easter

Chris Watson
April 13, 2025

Jesus knew His purpose on Earth. His three-year ministry was important, but His real mission was unequivocal and stark: to die a torturous, sacrificial death. There was no doubt about it.  As an Old Testament scholar, Christ intimately understood the Messianic prophesies and His role in their fulfillment. Quite often, while teaching and leading His followers, He quoted those passages, making it clear that He knew the clock was ticking.
