Hey everybody it's Matt this is the 10 minute Bible Hour podcast we are into

epilogue territory we are into the final five episodes of conversation about Matthew where we're looking back at the big picture

of what we just walked through with this huge project we did together but right now we're

in the part where we look forward to how things unfolded next and

tie up a few loose ends and obvious questions and plot trails that we might all be

wondering about coming out of the book of Matthew.

So we have looked at how Peter got restored, how things played out in that period of 40 days where Jesus was teaching and equipping the disciples to get

them ready for what was going to happen next.

Then last time around, they're asking about like some kind of reckoning and can we just be done here and then Jesus like nope

I'll keep track of all of the time stuff. That's a God thing. We'll handle that and what you're going to do is

be my witnesses under the power of the Holy Spirit to Jerusalem, Judea,

Sumeria, Sumeria, and to the ends of the earth and therein that sets the

trajectory for where like all of Christianity goes and then Jesus ascends into the heavens and there's

instant paralysis like oh he's really gone this time what we do and there are two guys

there presumably angels we were like go do things they do the do the guy do the thing he said

Do just in light of seeing that guy fly away after he came back to life and also like remember he walked through a door one

time like not an open one like through it yeah that guy so that's kind of a big deal

and it has implications and you guys actually now know what those implications are you

should go tell people because it's gonna be it's gonna be good for everybody and

if it's not real polished you don't have it all figured out yet that's okay

let's just take a swing at it.

Paraphrase is mine, but I think it's a relatively reliable one.
