Reflection on Matthew 1-7

Hearing God thru His Word

The purpose of the gospel of
Matthew is to prove that Jesus
is the Messiah, the eternal King.
Matthew 1-4 introducing the
arrival of the Messiah focuses
on the importance of obedience;
whilst Matthew 5-7 traditionally
called the sermon of the Mount
sees Jesus giving directions
for living in His kingdom.

In Tuesday, we learn from Matt 1
that Immanuel God Always With us.
On Wed, we learn from Matt 4
that God Gives Word & Light.
On Thu, we learn from Matt 5
that we are called to be Salt & Light.
On Friday, we learn from Matt 6
that Father God Provides our Needs.
On Sat, we learn from Matt 7
that God Rewards Seekers.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For You are worthy of our Praise
being Immanual Always With us;
For God Gives Word & Light
and Call us to be Salt & Light.
For God You Provide our Needs
and that You Reward Seekers.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
