Matthew

56 Matthew 10:24-33 Fear only God

October 5, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

All of us face the question: What am I going to believe so much that it changes the way I think, respond and make choices?  I make those decisions based on what or who I fear most. Jesus says the wisest choice is to fear God.

54 Matthew 10:8-23 Provisions & Persecution

September 21, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

On this journey, Jesus deliberately makes his apostles dependent on the hospitality of the children of Israel by instructing them not to take provisions. The apostles might expect they are launching a victory tour, but they will learn first-hand how the children of Israel will reject the Messiah.

53 Matthew 9:35-10:8 Sending the Twelve

September 14, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

Matthew presents this initial sending of the Twelve as a first step toward their ultimate global mission. Even though they are to stay in Jewish territory on this journey, ultimately, Jesus is going to send them to the world.

52 Matthew 9:27-34 Blind and mute

August 24, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

In these last two miracles, Matthew foreshadows the growing conflict with the Pharisees. While the crowds are excited and amazed, the Pharisees reject Jesus as working with the devil. Ultimately the unbelief of the Jewish leadership will be a crucial part of the story.

51 Matthew 9:18-26 Jairus’s daughter

August 17, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

In the raising of Jairus’s daughter, we learn that death should no longer command fear and power over us, because we follow a savior with authority over death.

50 Matthew 9:18-26 The bleeding woman

August 10, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

Jesus asked, “Who touched me?”  In a metaphorical way, he asks it still. You can try to touch his robe and then run away. But if you do, you’re missing the greatest gift of all: salvation.

49 Matthew 9:14-17 Fasting, cloth & wine skins

August 3, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

In these stories, Jesus challenges the religious culture and practices of the Pharisees, not the Old Testament. His understanding is so fundamentally incompatible with the Pharisees that if he tried to reform their their views, he would only destroy them.

Olivet Discourse: Comparing the Synoptic Gospels

August 2, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

The Olivet Discourse is a conversation Jesus had with his disciples shortly before his crucifixion. As they sat on the Mount of Olives looking across at the temple, Jesus explained many things about the coming destruction of the temple. While Matthew provides the fullest account, this teaching is found in all three synoptic gospels.

48 Matthew 9:9-13 Eating with sinners

July 27, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

Jesus sat and ate among the tax collectors with the message, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand and that is a message we do well to share. The most loving thing we can do is to help people deal with their real problem.

47 Matthew 9:1-8 Jesus heals the Paralytic

July 20, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

Jesus demonstrates that he has authority from God to forgive sins by calling upon the power of God to heal the paralytic. In addition to the faith of the paralytic, the miracles support our faith by demonstrating that God has given Jesus authority.
