#. *Need to understand that the book of Matthew is NOT chronological*
#.
Simply Matthews recount of events in the life of Christ
#.
So in your harmony of the Gospel’s you will jump back and forth in this book
#.
*Left off last week where a disciple pointed out how GRAND the temple was*
#.
And it WAS a grand BUILDING
#.
And it would NOT be completed until 64 AD
#.
But even during the time of Jesus - even in the midst of CONSTRUCTION - it was BEAUTIFUL
#.
But not for LONG:
*Matthew 24:2** *And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?
Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
#.
In 70 AD, just SIX years after its COMPLETION, Roman general Titus CAPTURED Jerusalem and completely DESTROYED and LOOTED the temple
#.
AFTER this observation of the GRANDER of the Temple, Jesus and His disciples cross the Kidron Valley to the Mount of Olives
i.
There Jesus continued to teach His followers
*Matthew 24:3** *And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?
And what /shall be/ the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
#.
Jesus was speaking BOTH of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD as well as the RETURN OF CHRIST #.
Jesus gives us some SIGNS of His Second Coming
i.
FALSE preachers
ii.
WARS and RUMORS of war
iii.
Famines, pestilences and earthquakes
#.
Two kinds of PEOPLE today i.
Those who are PREPARED, WATCHING for the coming of Christ
ii.
And those who are NOT
#.
*Jesus CONCLUDED the Olivet Discourse by reminding His disciples that the Passover was ONLY two days away*
#.
That He would THEN be BETRAYED and CRUCIFIED #.
Matthew tells us that this was the SIXTH time Jesus told His disciples that He was going to DIE
#.
*Just down the road PLOTTING was taking place*
#.
The chief priests and scribes were in a SECRET session in the home of the high priest
#.
PLOTTING and PLANNING
*Matthew 26:4 - 5** *And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill /him/.
But they said, Not on the feast /day/, lest there be an uproar among the people.
#.
They just had to GET Jesus but NOT on the feast day
i.
Didn’t want to insight Jesus’ followers
#.
So much for THEIR planning – i.
Jesus WAS crucified during the Passover
#.
Jesus really was in CONTROL of the WHOLE event – i.
NOT His enemies
#.
God’s plan was in motion and NOBODY was going to change it
#.
*Simon the leper has a dinner for Jesus*
#.
Simon probably called the LEPER because he had leprosy but was HEALED by Jesus #.
NOW he can sit down and have FELLOWSHIP with Jesus and the other guests
#.
John tells us that Mary, Martha and Lazarus were present
#.
Martha SERVED the mean
#. Mary came to Jesus with some very EXPENSIVE ointment in a vase
i.
Believed to worth a one year salary
ii.
Point being it was a LOT on money
iii.
Mary anointed Jesus’ head and feet with that ointment
iv.
Then WIPED His feet with her hair
v.
This was a very LAVISH act of love
vi.
It caused much DEBATE among the disciples assembled
vii.
Many thought that the ointment ought to have been SOLD and the money given to the POOR
viii.
John tells us that Judas Iscariot was the SPOKESMAN
1.
The FIRST one to speak out AGAINST this act
#.
The CRITICISM got so heated that Jesus RESPONDED
*John 12:7 - 8** *Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
i.
This ANNOINTING is NOT the same event that took place in the house of Simon the Pharisee found in Luke 7:36-50
1. Different hosts, different women, different critics
#.
*Judas was OFFENDED by Jesus’ REBUKE*
#.
Judas would GIVE the Jewish authorities WHAT they WANTED i.
Which WAS?
1.
The ABILITY to arrest Jesus AWAY from the crowds
#.
Judas would KNOW Jesus’ SCHEDULE
i.
Judas could give that INFORMATION to the Jewish authorities
#.
The REBUKE was not the SOLE reason for condemning Jesus to CERTAIN death i.
All the disciples were rebuked – not just Judas
ii.
Rather that was the FINAL straw
iii.
There was no FUTURE in following Jesus
iv.
There was no FINANCIAL gain in following Jesus
v.
What is the POINT
vi.
Time now to sell out to the HIGHEST bidder
#.
*We have no record of what else transpired on Wednesday*
#.
A.T Robertson says that the plotting event and the dinner Matt 26 took place on Wednesday i.
With reference by Jesus of ‘2 days’ Wednesday fits
#.
We do know that Tuesday was a FULL day
#.
So was Wednesday
#.
As would be Thursday
#.
We can assume Jesus spent Wednesday and most of Thursday with His friends in Bethany
*THURSDAY AFTERNOON*
