Topics
施密茨神父在节目中详细解读了马太福音27-28章，讲述了耶稣受难的全过程。从耶稣被捕，到彼拉多面前受审，再到民众选择释放巴拉巴而将耶稣钉上十字架，以及耶稣的死亡、埋葬和复活。神父特别强调了巴拉巴（其名字意为“父之子”）与耶稣（真正的父神之子）之间的对比，以此来展现世人常常选择虚假而非真理的倾向。同时，神父也解释了耶稣在十字架上呼喊“我的上帝，我的上帝，为什么离弃我？”的含义，指出这并非耶稣被父神遗弃，而是他体验了人类被遗弃的感受，体现了他对人类的爱与同理心。最后，神父阐述了耶稣的大使命，呼吁人们不仅要向世界传教，也要在身边的人中做门徒，并强调上帝与我们同在。他还提到了天主教教堂祭坛上圣物遗骸的意义，以及这些遗骸与早期教会历史的联系，特别是马太福音作者马太的遗骸，以此来加强与历史和信仰的联系。神父还解释了马太福音中关于犹太人的描述需要结合旧约圣经的背景来理解，早期基督徒并不认为自己创立了一个新的宗教，而是犹太教的延续和完成，这需要我们理解当时的时代背景和信仰体系。

Deep Dive

Chapters
In this chapter, Fr. Mike discusses the choice between Barabbas and Jesus, highlighting the meaning of Barabbas's name ("son of the father") and the crowd's decision to release a guilty murderer while condemning the innocent Son of God. This reflects the human tendency to choose the false over the true and the broken over the whole.
  • Barabbas's name means "son of the father," creating a stark contrast with Jesus, the true Son of the Father.
  • The crowd's choice reveals a recurring theme in scripture: humanity's temptation to choose the false over the true.
  • This event foreshadows the new and eternal covenant that Jesus establishes with his sacrifice.
