The Gospel According to the GospelsSample
The Gospel of Matthew
Read Matthew 26:6–13
According to David Starling, Vice Principal (Academic) at Morling Baptist College in Sydney, there is a ‘Matthewness’ to the Gospel of Matthew.
Don’t you love ‘Matthewness’ as David’s overview of what is distinct about the New Testament’s first Gospel? In our Gospel According to The Gospels conversation, David provides a wonderful walk-through of ‘Matthewness,' including its particular way of revealing the ‘age-old backdrop’ for the coming of Jesus Christ.
Also in Matthew’s Gospel, David Starling points us to the good news of Jesus being anchored in the justice and righteousness of God.
As you consider all that – and our response of heartfelt obedience –notice the involvement of an anonymous woman in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. David wants us to grasp the significance of Matthew 26 recording the ‘memory of her’ as part of the ongoing proclamation of ‘this Gospel’ of Jesus. Somehow, one woman’s recognition of the good news is eternally enmeshed with it.
