Preview on Matthew Gospel
The Gospel is the good news that
God in Jesus Christ has fulfilled
His promises to Israel, and that a
way of salvation has been opened
to all. But the Gospel is not just
about salvation in terms of eternal
and abundant life, it is also about
the power of God and much more.
We will learn more of what the
Gospel offers and what it entails
to live out the Gospel as we
mediate on the four gospels.
Dear Almighty & All-Loving God,
I pray even as Yr People meditate
on the holy and precious Gospel
that Your Spirit minister to their
soul and Will Energise them;
that they Will Experience
the blessings of a praying life;
that their Faith Will Arise and
they Will Trust & Obey You more
each day. In His name, Amen.
Following Mark gospel which
portrays Jesus as Perfect Servant,
we meditate on Matt which records
Jesus’ preparation & proclamation
as God’s Messiah (Eternal King)
to the people of Israel. Opposition
to His ministry grows as religious
leaders deny His claims & disavow
His miracles, prompting Jesus
to turn increasingly to His disciples.
Through miracles, parables and
sermons, He prepares them for
the climax of His earthly ministry
– His sacrificial death, burial and
resurrection. Prior to His ascension
Jesus commissions His disciples
to continue the work He had begun

Lord Jesus, as we learn more

Your Spirit challenge us to give
You the rightful place as King
and Master of our lives. Amen.
