6.14.21 – Daily Dose of Worship. A study on Matthew. Part 132.
Matthew 9:13 says this: “Now go and learn what this means: ‘I DESIRE COMPASSION,RATHER THAN SACRIFICE,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” A recent question from the Pharisees was more of an accusation: why does Jesus eat with tax collectors and “sinners?” Why would a supposedly-righteous man be seen in…

Let’s take a break today from the study on Matthew to read this passage and just take a minute to think on this day. 1 Peter 3:18 says this, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but…

Ready to cut off your hand? Let’s continue this sacrifice discussion. I could have combined Matthew 5:29 and 5:30 but wanted to keep them separate because the point Jesus is driving home here is so very very important. Matthew 5:30 says this: “And if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off…

We continue this story about the tribulation and testing of Jesus in the wilderness today. Matthew 4:5-7 says this: “Then the accuser transported Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and perched him at the highest point[a] of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you’re really God’s Son, jump, and the angels will catch you.

Matthew 3:13-15 talks about Jesus being baptized by John. I would have had the same reaction as John in this instance. Check out what it says here: “Then Jesus left Galilee to come to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But when he waded into the water, John resisted him, saying, “Why are you doing…

Yesterday we were talking about how Jesus was and is literally the restoration of the world. “Looking backward, Matthew picks up the storyline of the Old Testament and shows how Jesus brings it to fulfillment in himself. Looking forward, Matthew ends his Gospel by propelling the church out into the world to take the gospel…

DEVOTION: Continuing yesterday’s thought. “For he claims all, because He is love and must bless. He cannot bless us unless He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, He claims all. There’s no bargaining with Him.”…
