Matthew: Jesus Is King (Meditative Commentary)

by Gary Holloway

Do you want a deeper, more-fulfilling way of Bible study? Do you want to know God through Scirpture - not just to know the teachings, but to have a relationship with the Teacher? Perhaps you want to begin daily Bible reading, but need guidance. Or you need a guide for family Bible study. Or your small group bible study need revitalizing. This meditative commentary is for you. There are many commentaries on the books of the Bible and workbooks for Bible study, but this series is different. It employs the classic Christian method of 'holy reading' to help you hear the voice of God. Holy reading involves slowly engaging a short passage of Scripture, listening closely, reading repeatedly, praying the words, and perhaps sharing with fellow believers. When we quiet ourselves and engage his word, God will bless us, our families, and our churches. This volume points us to God's voice in the gospel of Matthew. This gospel invites us to make Jesus our king in a daily discipleship. If we take Matthew seriously, we might (like his original hearers) be shocked by the words of Jesus, astonished by his power, and overwhelmed at his compassion.
