Scene 4:

Scripture Reading Plan:

Jesus’ Strong & Important Words

Matthew 23:1-36, Matthew 26:1- 13

Throughout the week, Jesus confronts and challenges the culture, religious leaders—and each one of us. Blind guides! Hypocrites! Whitewashed tombs! Some harsh language exposes His radical grace and invites us to remember and know Jesus more deeply.
