Matthew (Jeremiah Bible Study Series)
: The Arrival Of The King

Matthew had once been a corrupt tax collector working for Rome, but his life had forever changed when a Jesus approached his tax booth one day and simply said, "Follow me." Matthew took Jesus up on the offer and left everything from his former life behind. The transformed Matthew spent the next few years observing everything Jesus said and did . . . teachings and miracles he would later record in his Gospel. Matthew especially wanted his readers to understand that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah—God-in-the-flesh—and that he had ushered in a new kingdom on earth. All were invited to join this kingdom . . . and also become followers of Christ.The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah's forty-plus years of commitment in teaching the Word of God. In each study, he will help you understand what the Bible says, what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to you today. Along the way, you will gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply the truth you find to your life.
