The New Testament is arguably the most important and famous document of all, and it opens with Matthew. It’s his account of arguably the most important person of all. And in 2023 Crossroads is kicking off with a deep dive into the first few chapters of Matthew to find out why. Why is it that Jesus matters so much? Why is it that 2000 years after Christmas, Jesus has more followers than ever before? Jesus enters into history and, as Matthew explains, changes its course the world over. It’s as if reality itself has made way for him…making way for a king like no other.
