Matthew’s Message about the Messiah

Our church body just finished reading through the Old Testament.  Much has been learned concerning the character of God and the spiritual nature of humanity.  The prophets have spoken of a new kingdom which will be established and endure forever.  This script of this new kingdom will not be on stone but upon human hearts.  This new kingdom is the kingdom of the Messiah.

Matthew writes to his fellow Jews in an attempt to let them know that the Messiah has arrived and that he was the person known as Jesus.  It is Christ who is King!  It is Jesus who will build a church capable of transcending the gates of Hades.  

This lesson attempt to echo the purpose of Matthew’s record.  Jesus is God!  He is not some religious myth!  He was not just a good man with some good philosophical ideas!  He was the Messiah and He longs to be the Master of every human heart.
