1. Matthew’s gospel speaks the truth in love, and the truth it speaks is the dead and living Lord Jesus exclusively, and all nations, Jews and Gentiles, inclusively.

  4. Dying with Christ. That, in the end, is the only good way to die, the only way to die well. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, imitate that.
  5. Sinai is law. Zion is gospel. Which one will save your hearer? Which one is the author’s audience being directed to? Which one are you directing your hearers to?
