From the Desert to the Garden | Ep 3: The Messiah in Jerusalem: Judgment begins
Description
In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ moves into Jesus’ final week in Jerusalem through the synoptic Gospels, Mark, Matthew, and Luke, each shaping the narrative with distinct emphases.
He centres on Jesus’ confrontations with the religious leaders in the Temple, where his teaching and authority provoke mounting tension and reveal divine judgment at work. The episode culminates with the widow’s offering, a symbol of total faithfulness that foreshadows Jesus’ own self-giving sacrifice.
