We finally completed all of the Old Testament before Spring Break and now, here we are diving into Matthew. I LOVE JESUS!!! I love that Matthew quotes the Old Testament more than any other New Testament book, and that it just makes sense the Jesus is the Messiah and the King of the Jews. Still, its so sad that most of his own didn't recognize him. Yet, the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed... tiny seed, giant tree. Yep. Too much to write about on Matthew. So I'm just going to say... READ IT YOURSELF! Remember, it was written to a predominantly Jewish audience, which explains why there's so much quoting of the law and prophets (and psalms!) But, still, us Gentiles can know Jesus more through this book, and God's heart for Israel which was still the same as it was when they were just a fledgling nation coming out of slavery in Egypt. Wow, was that really only 6 months ago I was reading about the Exodus? God is faithful! That's all I can say.
