This semester, we&#8217;ll be working through the Gospel of Matthew during the Lenten season and up to Easter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This Gospel was particularly beloved by the Early Church, being the most quoted of any of the Four Gospels, and being placed at the beginning of the New Testament because of its great prominence and importance in revealing Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all redemptive history.<\/p>\n<p>At the height of his ministry, Jesus turned to his disciples and asked them two fundamental questions found&nbsp;only in this gospel account:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1) Who do PEOPLE say that I am? and, 2) Who do YOU say that I am?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are the most important questions that all people, including us in the Church, must answer. And our answer makes all the difference both for this life and the life to come. And so these two questions will be the guiding points of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew in the coming weeks. All are welcome to join us beginning this Thursday, February 16, at 7 PM. Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
