Two great chapters in Matthew and the beginning of Romans are a stimulating read for sure.
As you read the chapters in Matthew see if you can find references to the Kingdom of God.
Earthly kings usually enter a city in a Mercedes or a Rolls Royce. Jesus on the other hand is a King of a different Kingdom. He entered the city of Jerusalem riding on a young colt (most probably a donkey).
Check the scripture quoted from Zechariah 9:9, “Look your King is coming to you – He is humble….”
So unlike earthly leaders, our King at the core is the embodiment of humility. He is the servant King. He came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.
He turned water in to wine at a party… the first servant evangelism wine giveaway showing God’s love in a practical way.
He fed the multitudes
He healed the side
He washed the disciples feet
He went to a cross and died for you and me
He cooked a fish dinner for the disciples
He ascended into heaven, received the Holy Spirit and gave Him as a gift to His Church.
In the end He will serve us at the Marriage supper in Heaven.
