Christ as King: A Study in Matthew

DAY 11 OF 28

What does it say?

Jesus answered John the Baptist’s question concerning His identity. He commended John, pronounced judgment on the unrepentant, and invited all to come to Him.

What does it mean?

John the Baptist was put in prison for doing what God called him to do. His honest question concerning Jesus’ identity was answered by Jesus’ works, which Isaiah prophesied to be the works of the Messiah (Isaiah 35:5-6; 61:1). Jesus commended John as the messenger foretold by Isaiah. Both John and Jesus proclaimed God’s message, yet the majority of that generation was not responsive and would be held accountable in relation to the truth revealed to them. Still, Jesus invited all who would recognize Him as Messiah to come in childlike faith and find rest from sin’s penalty and life’s burdens.

How should I respond?

Life doesn’t always go as you think it should, even when you’re doing exactly what God has directed you to do. Circumstances do not define you. Your identity is found in your relationship with Jesus and your choice to fulfill God’s plan. Have you come to Christ in childlike faith and repentance for salvation? Jesus will answer your questions. He is your closest friend. What situation burdens you? Bring it to Jesus. The majority may reject Christ, but He invites you to find ease, relief, and rest for your soul in Him.

About this Plan

Christ as King: A Study in Matthew

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.
