At the center of all human history stands the cross of Jesus Christ.

It's here that we see the character of God put on full display,

the sinfulness of man at its worst and a death that shaped all of history.

In this message from Matthew

chapters 26 and 27, David Platt urges us

to look at the one who gave himself

as a substitute for sinners,

for not only history, but also our eternity depends on our response

to Christ's death in the place of sinners.

Here's David with a sermon titled, The Centerpiece of all history and the determinate of our eternity,

from Matthew, chapter 26 and 27.

As we put a temporary pause on where we have been in the book of Matthew to jump ahead for these next two weeks to the end of Matthew to tread on some of the most holy ground in all of

scripture as we prepare to enter into this holy week, this week when we remember the arrest

and trial and crucifixion and death of our Lord, the very thought of it, just as stunning and sobering at the same time.

I wanted us to pause where we are in mind. stunning and sobering at the same time.

I wanted us to pause where we are in Matthew.

Go ahead and jump to the climax of the book.
