What is the Meaning of “Outer Darkness” In Matthew’s Gospel?

December 20, 2021     Mt 22:13, Mt 25:30, Mt 8:12, outer darkness, Salvation, Works

What does the phrase “outer darkness” mean in the gospel of Matthew? On this episode of Grace in Focus radio, Bob and Shawn will be discussing this phrase in light of the free grace position. We will hear that this phrase only occurs three times, all of which are found in the gospel of Matthew. The guys will relate this phrase with the expression “weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Bob will also provide some contextual clues to the meaning of these passages by looking at the phrase “sons of the kingdom.”  We hope you enjoy this episode.
