Overview

Author:

Time period:

AD 80-90 (possibly as early as AD 70)

Audience:

Jewish

Style:

Why:

Theme: Jesus as King

Functions as bridge between OT and NT

Emphasis: Jesus’ teaching (5 discourses)

One of three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke)

Culture:

second generation of Christians

defining event was the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Romans in AD 70 in the course of the First Jewish–Roman War (AD 66–73)

from this point on, what had begun with Jesus of Nazareth as a Jewish messianic movement became an increasingly Gentile phenomenon evolving in time into a separate religion

The Christian community to which Matthew belonged, like many 1st-century Christians, was still part of the larger Jewish community: hence the designation Jewish Christian to describe them

What He says will happen is true and sure

when we set our mind on the things of men rather than the things of God, we are a hindrance to Christ ()

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

What does this tell me about God?

He calls us to a way that is contrary to the world

He calls us to a way that is contrary to our human nature

To follow Him we must deny ourself

Christ is going to come with His angels; in His glory

They did not know the Scriptures nor the power of God

In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage; they are like angels in heaven

The Great Commandment

Whose Son Is the Christ?

Chapter 23

Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees

Lament over Jerusalem

What does this tell me about God?

God is patient; has been willing to “gather” Jerusalem many times; but they were not willing

At the return of Christ- they will say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

Chapter 24

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

Historical fact: Temple was destroyed in AD 70

Signs of the End of the Age

Many will come saying, “I am the Christ”

They will lead many astray

Wars and rumors of wars

Be not alarmed; the end is not yet

nation will rise against nation

famines and eathquakes

This is the beginning of the birth pains

You will be delivered up to tribulation and death

You will be hated by all nations for His name’s sake

Many will fall away, betray one another, hate one another

Many false prophets will rise; lead many astray

lawlessness will be increased

love of many will grow cold

The one who endures to the end will be saved

Gospel will be proclaimed throughout the whole world

The Abomination of Desolation

What does this tell me about God?

He wants us to know what is going to happen

He wants us to be prepared

Foretelling- just as He did His death/resurrection

For the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short

False christs/false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders

Do not go to where they say he is

The coming of the Son of Man will be as lightning (shining from the east to the west); all will see and know; it will not be in secret

Coming of the Son of Man

Lesson of the Fig Tree

No One Knows That Day and Hour

Chapter 25

Parable of the Ten Virgins

What does this tell me about God?

No one knows the day or hour the bridegroom will come

He expects us to be ready

He expects us to be prepared

Parable of the Talents

What does this tell me about God?

He gives generously

He expects us to do something with what He has given

He reaps where He has not sown

He gathers where He scattered no seed

Those who invest (use) the gift of the Spirit they have been given; they will be given more- in abundance

Those who do not invest (use) the gift of the Spirit they have been given; it will be taken away, they are “worthless” and will be cast into the outer darkness

If we are not good stewards of the gift; the gift will be removed

The Final Judgement

What does this tell me about God?

Christ will come in His glory

Christ will come will all the angels

Christ will sit on his throne

He will gather all nations before Him

He will separate the sheep from the goats

Sheep on the right; goats on the left

Sheep inherit the kingdom He has prepared; eternal life

The kingdom was prepared from the foundation of the world

He expects us to feed the hungry

He expects us to give drink to the thirsty

He expects us to clothe the naked

He expects us to welcome strangers

He expects us to visit the sick

He expects us to care for the prisoner

How we care for others- is how we care for Him

The goats he will send to “the eternal fire”; eternal punishment

We are to serve “the least of these”

Chapter 26

Plot to Kill Jesus

Two days before the Passover

Jesus told his disciples he would be crucified

Caiaphas (high-priest), chief priests and elders plot to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him

Not during the feast- would cause uproar among the people

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

Bethany

House of Simon the leper

poured on his head

disciples “indignant”; why this waste?

“She has done a beautiful thing to me”

preparing him for burial

She will be remembered wherever the gospel is proclaimed

one of the twelve

Judas goes to the chief priests (they did not come to him)

“What will you give me…?”

thirty pieces of silver

From that moment, sought an opportunity to betray him

Passover with the Disciples

What does this tell me about God?

First day of Unleavened Bread

Disciples prepare the Passover feast

Judas calls him Rabbi- others call him Lord

“One of you will betray me”

They were sorrowful, “Is it I, Lord?”

fulfillment of the scriptures

Judas- “Is it I, Rabbi?”

Jesus- “You have said so.”

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

What does this tell me about God?

blessed it

He gave his body and blood for us

blood of the covenant- poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins

broke it

We will drink wine with him in his Father’s kingdom

gave it to the disciples

“Take, eat; this is my body”

He took a cup

gave thanks

gave it to the disciples

“Drink of it…this is my blood of the covenant…poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
