Sending the Multitude Away Matthew 14:13-36 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. [Matthew 14:22] This verse comes between two great works: Jesus feeding the multitude and Jesus walking on water. These are arguably the most well-known miracles in the Gospels. The former is recorded in all four Gospels, revealing its significance, the latter rem...

Parables and Priorities Matthew 13:24-52 Jesus sent the multitude away, and His disciples came to Him. What a telling tale of the difference between the two. The miracles were over for the day, and yet Jesus disciples came to Him for the message. And that is what set them apart. They had different priorities; they had a different heart. They wanted deeper truths of the Kingdom, not just miracles. They were looking to understand and...

Parables that Set Us Apart Matthew 13:1-23 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying[Matthew 13:2-3] Matthew 13, the Parables of the Kingdom, brings us to the third discourse in the Gospel of Matthew. As mentioned before, Matthew pivots around five major teachings of Jesus on the Kingdom of...

Water that is Thicker than Blood Matthew 12:28-50 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.[Matthew 12:49-50] You have heard the saying, Blood is thicker than water. We know what that saying means regarding biological family. However, Jesus had a different view. While there is a strong bond be...

Accountability Matthew 11:16-30 Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.- Matthew 11:21 Accountability, we are answerable to what we know. This is an important principle in Scripture that Jesus Himself describes. It is one thing to error without knowledge and quite another to error with. It is...

Faith that Overcomes Question Matthew 11:1-15 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another? - Matthew 11:2-3 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [Heb 11:1] This is the Biblical description of faith. But notice the question embedded. It is inherent in things hoped for, and things no...

From Following to Sending Matthew 10:24-42 Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. - Matthew 10:34 This seems to be a contradiction in terms when considering that one of the names of Jesus is Prince of Peace. This, however, is peace with God. Jesus has settled peace between Holy God and sinful man through the Cross. But regarding the world, He brings a sword of separation; spirit...

Freely Received, Freely Give Matthew 10:1-23 And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. - Matthew 10:7-8 The Kings Delegation [The Kings Couriers Ironside], to these Jesus said: Freely you have received, freely give. This was a verse that impacted me early in my Christian life. I was not brought up in th...

The Kings Followers Matthew 8:23-9:13 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, Follow Me. So he arose and followed Him. - Matthew 9:9 This followed Him is different from the multitudes that followed Him. The multitudes followed the miracles; the disciples followed the message. While the Gospels do record a miracle/message pulse, it is without a doubt the message that i...

The Kings Authority Matthew 8:1-17 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean. - Matthew 8:1-2 This is right on the heels of the Sermon on the Mount. After Jesus taught the precepts of the Kingdom, He came down from the mountain and showed His authority. He immediately met a leper and healed him. His walk...

Right Foundation Matthew 7:24-29 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock; and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. - Matthew 7:24-25 The Therefore in 7:24 is an especially important word. It connects us to the previous sections of the Sermon and then lea...

Right Discernment Matthew 7:1-23 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. - Matthew 7:1-2 Right judgment flows from right discernment, and that makes discernment an important asset in this life of faith. Right discernment is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go...

Right Fasting Matthew 6:16-18 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. -Matthew 6:17-18 Fasting is a spiritual practice oftentimes overlooked in our day. Perhaps it is because we are not commanded to fast in the New Testament. Then the disciples of John [the Ba...
