Matthew's Passion in Homiletical Focus

Authors

  • Mark R. Rigg Advent Lutheran Church, West Lawn, Pa. Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.

Abstract

The author invites us to dwell richly in Matthew's story of Jesus, particularly during Holy Week. He lifts up five emphases found in the Passioni account in Matthew that can enrich the Year A journey through Lent and allow congregations to encounter God's justice in Jesus' non-violent resistance to the powers of this world.
