Matthew's Gospel - Chapter Twenty-Five
Keep working on learning where to look for different things in Matthew's Gospel. In chapter Twenty-Four Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple.
Write down at least three questions you hope will be answered.
Read Albrecht's commentary on Matthew, pages 356-370.
See if you have any more questions or answers.
Questions for Study and Discussion:
Consider Matthew 25:1-13, the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. The parable speaks of a coming judgment in which the wise and foolish are separated. How do the details of the actions describe life in general? What does the passage say about coming judgment?
Verses 14-30 describe the work of the disciple of Christ in terms of a servant who has been entrusted with money to care for in the master's absence. How does God provide us with what we need to do his work? How do we use the resources he has provided? Consider stewardship of both time and money.
Verses 31-46 are a parable of final judgment. In the last day, Jesus will separate his disciples who are faithful from those who are not faithful. Consider the distinctions between the two groups and their treatment.
