We all can agree we are prone to desire righteousness from our works, wanting to be praised and recognized. Is this beneficial? Should we desire righteousness, not of our own and could never produce? Christ freely gives His righteousness to those who ask, it's that simple.  Why struggle to earn when it will never fulfill what you truly desire, righteousness given by a God who loves you. Matthew is the most Jewish-centric of the four gospels. The apostle regularly invoked the writings of the Old Testament prophets in an effort to illustrate Jesus's identity as Israel's long-awaited Messiah. Matthew wrote his account of Jesus's ministry to show that Jesus was and is indeed the King, Israel's long-awaited Messiah. Matthew's commitment to grounding the life of Jesus in the Old Testament raised Jesus above the multitude of these false messiahs.Do you ever feel as though God has deserted you or that He sits in silence in the face of your requests? As we read through the pages of Matthew, not only do we see Jesus Christ revealed as Israel's King and Messiah, but His coming to earth as God in the flesh reminds us of His deep love for us. Now resurrected and ascended, the Lord Jesus will always be with us, even to the end of time. Christ's commission to His followers is still His mandate to us today: "Make disciples of all the nations." Christ's work of building His church is the work He does through each of us.If you want to know more about Teach Me The Bible Podcast, please follow on social media and subscribe on any podcast platform: (Links are provided for social media)https://www.facebook.com/teachmethebiblepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/teachmethebiblepodcast/If you would like to contact us, please do so through WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.
