Summary
Matthew's gospel reveals Jesus as the coming King with divine authority who transforms lives through friendship with sinners, inviting disciples into intimate relationship and sending them as ambassadors of a new humanity.
Highlights
The moment I met Jesus, He found me in the one place I would have never wanted to be found—in my place of greatest shame and regret—and He invited me in.
Jesus is holy, holy, holy—there's no human being has ever stood next to anything more pure or perfect than Jesus Christ—and yet this holy Jesus lays down at a meal with sinners.
When the whole rest of our world would be pushed away by our arrogance or our pride or our lies, when we would have nothing left, the message of Jesus says that the one thing we would always have on the table is the invitation of God into close relationship with Him.
