Introduction…
We started this journey through the Gospel of Matthew on December 1, 2019 with a sermon entitled “The King Who Has Come from Matthew 1:1-17.
That Christmas we kicked off the Matthew series with a set of sermons labeled “The Promise Keeper.”
As we have made our way through Matthew there have been various themes that have made their way throughout the entire book, and one of the primary themes is present at the very beginning and end of the gospel.
That theme is the Kinship of Jesus.
Matthew begins with the establishment of the Kingship of Jesus and ends with the declaration and exercise of His authority.
Matthew begins his gospel with the genealogical evidence that Jesus Christ is this promised King.
Matthew 1:1 (CSB)
“An account of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham”
Every year at Christmas we point out that the birth of Christ is the fulfillment of God’s prophecies.
And, when we read through the gospel of Matthew we see that all of the prophecies God makes have a central character.
The central character in the OT prophecies is a great King whom God has promised will rule over His kingdom.
Some of the prophecies of the coming King in the OT…
2 Samuel 7:15–16 (CSB)
“15 But my faithful love will never leave him as it did when I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 Your house and kingdom will endure before me forever, and your throne will be established forever.”
David’s house and kingdom will endure forever through a promised son.
Jesus is the son of David.
Psalm 2:6–8 (CSB)
6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the Lord’s decree.
He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance and the ends of the earth your possession.
For the ends of the earth to be a possession and the nations an inheritance we are looking for a significant king.. one on whom the Lord calls His son.
Psalm 24:8–10 (CSB)
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord of Armies, he is the King of glory.
God promised a king of glory, one who is strong and mighty, the Lord of Armies…
Micah 5:2 (CSB)
2 Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; one will come from you to be ruler over Israel for me.
His origin is from antiquity, from ancient times.
Bethlehem was small, and Judah as a region was small… and yet there is the promise that through Bethlehem in Judah a king would come… and yet this king would be from of old.
Isaiah 9:6–7 (CSB)
6 For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders.
He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end.
He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Armies will accomplish this.
The promised King of Israel would reign with righteousness now and forever… this is the Lord of Armies.
His name will be grand and wonderful than all other names… He will be named wonderful counselor, mighty God, eternal father, the prince of peace!
This king will be like no other king who has ever been or ever will be.
This is the king that the people in exile were waiting for.
This is the king they were longing for.
The one who would reign on David’s throne, the one who would free the people of Israel from their bondage and exile and unity the two kingdoms under His rule.
This is the king of glory, the king eternal, the promised Messiah of the people of Israel.
“Christ” is a title, not a name.
1.
It means the anointed one, or King.
2. Jesus Christ means Jesus the anointed one.
“When we read or hear Jesus Christ “we should be thinking Jesus the Messiah, the one God anointed to bring about our redemption.”
- DA Carson
According to Matthew Jesus is the king God promised, the Son of David and the Son of Abraham.
Jesus is the King who will rule with all authority and be the promised blessing to all nations.
The designation, “Son of Abraham”, refers to the promised son of Abraham who would be a blessing to all nations.
Genesis 12:2–3 (CSB)
2 I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, I will curse anyone who treats you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.,
Genesis 15:13–14 (CSB)
13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know this for certain: Your offspring will be resident aliens for four hundred years in a land that does not belong to them and will be enslaved and oppressed.
14 However, I will judge the nation they serve, and afterward they will go out with many possessions.
Genesis 17:1–6 (CSB)
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him, saying, “I am God Almighty.
Live in my presence and be blameless.
2 I will set up my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you greatly.” 3 Then Abram fell facedown and God spoke with him: 4 “As for me, here is my covenant with you: You will become the father of many nations.
5 Your name will no longer be Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.
6 I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.
Genesis 22:18 (CSB)
18 And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my command.”
Matthew ends his gospel with the King exercising His authority for the joy of all the nations.
Matthew 28:16–20 (CSB)
16 The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.
17 When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted.
18 Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:16-18
16 The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.
17 When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted.
18 Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew’s Gospel highlights the power and authority of Jesus through His life and ministry.
Jesus taught with authority Jesus healed with authority Jesus forgave with authority Jesus exorcised demons with authority
The truth is that There is no limit to the authority of Jesus Christ.
Jesus declares full scope of His authority when He says “all authority” in “heaven and on earth.”
Given the truth of who Jesus is, the realization of what He has done grows even more significant.
4 Truths about King Jesus: (and His relationship with us)
1. Jesus is the King who came to save
Jesus is the promised Messiah who came to save the world through His death, burial, and resurrection.
2. Jesus is the King who sends us make disciples
Matthew 28:19-20 (CSB)
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Jesus sends us to share the good news of His redeeming work with all nations.
For generations Christians have referred to these verses as the Great Commission.
Jesus, the King, commands those who belong to His Kingdom to take the good news to the world.
Jesus is clear that we are to take the gospel to people from all nations.
Remember that Matthew began his gospel with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David and the son of Abraham.
