  2. The religious leaders thought Jesus was threatening to tear down the Temple. Instead, He was expanding it, so it encompassed and served the world.
  3. The parable, like a cubist painting, is disorienting. And finding a reasonable explanation is not going to make the disorientation go away.
  4. The love of God here is amazing. Jesus warns them of God’s judgment in order that He might save them from sin.
  5. He has not come to be the God who keeps your agendas running, who makes your worldly dreams come true. No, He has come like someone carrying a sword into battle, knowing that He is the only true and lasting life.
  6. In the Kingdom of God, there is a difference between knowing danger and letting it rewrite your heart.
  7. Mission begins with vision, with seeing the world with compassion.
  8. Matthew records his call. God comes into his life uncalled for and does the unimaginable.
  9. Matthew encourages us to return to the Word of God, to listen to the promises of God, to hear the ways of His Kingdom, and to let God’s voice guide our work in His world.
  10. The account of the transfiguration of Jesus is indeed about His transfiguration. But, in a way, it is also about the transfiguration of everything else.
  11. Yes, for a moment, Jesus asks the crowds to stop and to look at this beautiful vision. He offers a scenic outlook to the inhabitants of this world.
  12. Jesus not only claims our present moment, but He does so with the grace of eternity. The beatitudes are filled with promises of future blessing.
