Jesus Is King (40 of 66)
Series: Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible
Tony Thomas
Matthew
Jeremiah said, ''The day will come when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah'' (Jeremiah 31). One year ago we began a Roadtrip Through the Bible, and last Sunday we finished the Old Covenant. Today we're beginning the second half of that trip!
The Bible is a love letter from God and God used different leaders to communicate his love to us. In Genesis he used the patriarchs; in Exodus through Joshua he used two deliverers; and from 1 Samuel to 2 Chronicles He used 20 judges, 38 kings and one queen.
But the writer of Hebrews reminds us of some other leaders:
11:1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.
Some of you aren't exactly fans of the Old Testament and today is the day you've waited for since January 3, 2016. We're jumping from Malachi and 460 years of silence into the New Testament with Matthew. Matthew is one of four Gospel writers.
I. A Glance At the Gospels
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John open the New Testament with the Gospels. The word Gospel means ''Good News'' and the Gospels are the hub and heart of the Bible. Everything in the Old Testament leads to them and the rest of the New Testament flows from them.
God chose four men to tell the story of His Son's life. Why four versions? Why four separate accounts? Why didn't they collaborate on one complete biography? Each man wrote from his own perspective, to a different audience, emphasizing a different aspect of the life of Christ.
Five of us went to lunch in two vehicles (Duane and I were at New Beginnings, so Bill and Roxanne rode with Steve in his car) to Arni's on Thursday. As our food was being served, Steve jumped up and left in a hurry. We didn't know why at the time, but we found out later that his hot water heater at home had sprung a leak. ...
