Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad you have joined us today. We have reached the pivot point of the Gospel of Matthew. The Kingdom has been pronounced (Chapters 1-10). Matthew has moved us to official rejection of the Messiah and the announcement of postponement of the Kingdom. From here forward, Jesus turns attention to what lies ahead for Israel.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’
Matthew 23:37-39
