    Tale Of Two Gardens

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 11, 2025

    Introduction There’s no way around it—the reading from Matthew’s Gospel today is very sad. In it, Jesus suffers betrayal, abandonment, and injustice. His closest friends sell Him out, run from Him, and deny Him. Yet through it all, Jesus is resolute. After His anguished prayer in the Garden of ...read more

    Grace is scandalous. It’s hard to accept, hard to believe, and hard to receive. Grace shocks us in what it offers. It is truly not of this world. It frightens us with what it does for sinners.

    (MacArthur’s New Testament Commentary was used in preparing this message.) The Scandal of Grace In this series, we’ve been learning about the topic of grace.
