Day 100: January 6, 2026 – Matthew 26-28
January 6, 2026The last day of Jesus’ life unfold before us. Judas is sorry that he did what he did, but it is too late, the damage is done. He goes and hangs himself. This is probably one of the least focused on passages in Scripture. The hanging of Judas is tragic, very tragic. It is the opposite of what the Gospel teaches, that there is always hope for the lost, always. Judas took that away from God, he took away God’s ability and willingness to forgive him.
We see Peter is also distraught because he has betrayed Jesus, and so he weeps bitterly. Jesus appears to the disciples and gives them the great commission in chapter 28 to go out and make disciples and to teach, and to baptize. It doesn’t say go out and plant churches, it says go out and make disciples. That is our primary goal.
