Download or read book Fulfilling the Law and the Prophets written by Matthew Anslow and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew’s Gospel makes mention of prophets and prophecy more than any other canonical Gospel. Yet its perspective on prophecy has generally been neglected within biblical scholarship when, in fact, Jesus’ prophetic vocation is a central christological theme for Matthew. This new study by Matthew Anslow seeks to draw attention to this underdeveloped focus within Matthean studies. The central claim of the book is that in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus’ prophetic vocation is presented as a multi-faceted phenomenon, drawing on several prophetic traditions. Like biblical and popular prophets before him, Jesus is depicted by Matthew as calling Israel back to covenantal faithfulness, thereby providing guidance for the identity, theology, and communal life of God’s people.

Download or read book Paul s Works of the Law in the Perspective of Second Century Reception written by Matthew J. Thomas and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul writes that we are justified by faith apart from 'works of the law', a disputed term that represents a fault line between 'old' and 'new' perspectives on Paul. Was the Apostle reacting against the Jews' good works done to earn salvation, or the Mosaic Law's practices that identified the Jewish people? Matthew J. Thomas examines how Paul's second century readers understood these points in conflict, how they relate to 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the Apostle's own meaning. Surprisingly, these early witnesses align closely with the 'new' perspective, though their reasoning often differs from both viewpoints. They suggest that Paul opposes these works neither due to moralism, nor primarily for experiential or social reasons, but because the promised new law and covenant, which are transformative and universal in scope, have come in Christ.

Download or read book Prophecy written by Kelley S. Kent and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ said that he came to earth in order "to fulfil" "the law" and "the prophets" (Matthew 5:17). If there is one book in the New Testament that draws attention to fulfillment, it is the gospel of Matthew. Matthew alluded to or quoted seven major and minor prophets in the context of fulfilled prophecy. He also named the prophets Daniel, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Jonah. The life and writings of King David are in this prophetic context. At first glance, he does not appear to be a prophet. Psalms is not grouped with the prophets; neither is the record of David''s reign. Yet he said, "The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue" (2 Samuel 23:2). Fittingly, the name David appears seventeen times in Matthew, the most of any New Testament book. Of ten quotations from the Psalms, five are recorded as fulfilled prophecies. So are two quotations from David''s reign. Jesus Christ, "the son of David," is thus the son of a prophet (Matthew 1:1). Born in the "city of David," he was chosen like David to "rule ... Israel" (Matthew 2:6; Luke 2:4, 2:11). So just what Old Testament prophecy is fulfilled in Matthew? Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem (where young children were later murdered), named "Emmanuel," taken "out of Egypt," and "called a Nazarene" (Matthew 1:23, 2:15, 2:23). John the Baptist came before him "in the spirit and power of Elias" in order to "prepare ... the way of the Lord" (Matthew 3:3; Luke 1:17). Jesus brought the light of the kingdom to Galilee, "healed all that were sick," spoke in parables, and revealed the hypocrisy of the Pharisees (Matthew 8:16). His presence divided families even as he "shew[ed] judgment to the Gentiles" (12:18). Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, where he received praise from "babes and sucklings" (21:16). He was "rejected" by the Pharisees and betrayed for "thirty pieces of silver," used to buy "the potter''s field"; his disciples "scattered" (21:42, 26:15, 26:31, 27:7). On the cross, Jesus asked God why he had been "forsaken," while Roman soldiers "cast lots" for his clothes (27:35, 27:46). He spent "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (12:40). Then Jesus rose "from the dead" (28:7). As recorded in the gospel of Matthew, in his birth, ministry, and death "the prophet of Nazareth" fulfilled nearly thirty distinct prophecies from eleven Old Testament books (Matthew 21:11). Matthew did not draw attention to every fulfilled prophecy, for example the fact that Jesus "made his grave ... with the rich in his death" (Isaiah 53:9; see Matthew 27:57-60). What he did emphasize was Jesus'' identity as the Messiah and "King of the Jews" (Matthew 2:2, 27:11, 27:29, 27:37). This phrase appears in the New Testament nearly twenty times. All four gospels use it in the passion narrative. Only in Matthew does "King of the Jews" appear in the narrative of Jesus'' birth. The writer''s message is clear: whom the Jews "crucified," the wise men "worshipped" (2:11, 27:35). The King will return one day, not to suffer but to reign. When he comes, he will separate the nations, "as a shepherd divide[s] his sheep from the goats" (Matthew 25:32). Those who showed hospitality to Jesus'' "brethren" - the hungry, thirsty, and naked; strangers and the sick; prisoners even - will "inherit the kingdom" (25:34-40). Those who did not will face "everlasting fire" (25:41-46). When Jesus comes, will we be "ready" (Matthew 24:44, 25:10)? When the King returns, will he "find faith on the earth" (Luke 18:8)? The time is short, the hour late. The trumpet blast is near (Matthew 24:31). Therefore, let us "examine" ourselves to see if we are "in the faith" (2 Corinthians 13:5). Then let us "look up" and say, with expectant hearts and "in full assurance of faith," "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 23:39; Luke 21:28; Hebrews 10:22). Christ''s "reward is with him" (Isaiah 62:11). Truly, our "redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).

Book excerpt: Jesus Christ came to earth in order to "fulfil" "the law" and "the prophets" (Matthew 5:17). If there is one book in the New Testament that draws attention to such fulfillment, then it is the gospel of Matthew.What prophecy is fulfilled in Matthew? Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem (where children were murdered), named "Emmanuel," taken "out of Egypt," and "called a Nazarene" (Matthew 1:23, 2:15, 2:23). John the Baptist came before him "in the spirit and power of Elias" to "prepare ... the way of the Lord" (Matthew 3:3; Luke 1:17). Jesus brought light to Galilee, healed the sick, spoke in parables, and revealed the Pharisees' hypocrisy. His presence divided families even as he "shew[ed] judgment to the Gentiles" (Matthew 12:18). Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, where he received praise from "babes and sucklings" (21:16). He was "rejected" by the Jews and betrayed for "thirty pieces of silver," used to buy "the potter's field"; his disciples "scattered" (21:42, 26:15, 26:31, 27:7). On the cross, Jesus asked God why he had been "forsaken," while Roman soldiers "cast lots" for his clothes (27:35, 27:46). Jesus spent "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (12:40). Then he "rose from the dead" (28:7).As recorded in Matthew, in his birth, ministry, and death "the prophet of Nazareth" fulfilled nearly 30 prophecies from 11 Old Testament books (Matthew 21:11). Matthew did not draw attention to every fulfilled prophecy, e.g. the fact that Jesus "made his grave ... with the rich in his death" (Isaiah 53:9; see Matthew 27:57-60). What he did emphasize was Jesus' identity as "King of the Jews" (Matthew 2:2, 27:11, 27:29, 27:37). All four gospels use this phrase in the passion narrative. Only in Matthew does "King of the Jews" appear in the narrative of Jesus' birth. The writer's message is clear: whom the Jews "crucified," the wise men "worshipped" (2:11, 27:35).In this short book, fulfilled prophecies are listed as alphabetical entries in chapters organized around the three stages of Jesus' life (birth, ministry, and death). Bethlehem, Elijah, Emmanuel, Jonah: these and 20 other words are defined and explained in the context of fulfilled prophecy.

Book excerpt: Jesus is King. Standing as a central theme of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's kingly authority has profound implications for how we live in the world and interact with those around us. In this reader-friendly commentary, seasoned pastor Doug O'Donnell leads us through the first book of the New Testament, highlighting key themes and offering helpful illustrations for preaching. Drawing on years of pastoral experience, O'Donnell shows how Matthew's various emphases—including Jesus's messianic titles, fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, teaching on the kingdom of heaven, and present and future role as judge—all relate to Christ's kingship. Designed to help pastors faithfully preach God's Word, this commentary ultimately highlights Matthew's call to all people to worship and obey Jesus, our humble King and gracious Savior. Part of the Preaching the Word series.
