A Matthew

<p><strong>Jesus is the eternal King...</strong></p><p><strong>Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the gospel of Matthew in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what </strong><strong>it meant to the people at the time it was written and what it means to Christians today. </strong></p><p>At first glance it seems surprising that Jesus would call a man like Matthew to become one of His disciples. As a small-time tax collector Matthew would have been despised by the Jewish people who viewed those in the profession as traitors to Rome. But the fact that Matthew was educated literate and also familiar with Jewish law and customs made him the ideal candidate to not only accompany Jesus during His earthly ministry but also record all that he witnessed.</p><p>The result is the Gospel we have today. Matthew shows how Jesus as the promised Messiah and eternal King is worthy of our hope and our complete devotion.</p><p>Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organized to include: </p><ul><li><strong>Getting Started</strong>: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson.</li><li><strong>Setting the Stage</strong>: A short reflection to explain the context of the study.</li><li><strong>Exploring the Text</strong>: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions.</li><li><strong>Reviewing the Story</strong>: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading.</li><li><strong>Applying the Message</strong>: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to their lives.</li><li><strong>Reflecting on the Meaning</strong>: A closing reflection on the key teachings in the lesson.</li></ul><p>--ABOUT THE SERIES--</p><p>The <em>Jeremiah Bible Study Series </em>captures Dr. David Jeremiah's forty-plus years of commitment in teaching the Word of God.
