He gave them instructions and directions about being apostles. The second context is written by Matthew to the Christian-Jewish congregations at that time. Matthew was a tax collector who left his job to follow Jesus as His disciple. Matthew recorded and wrote the dialogue that he heard from Jesus using his perspective. The Discourse Of Jesus To The Disciples Looking through the historical context, Jesus …show more content…

The reason Jesus insisted His disciples to go only to the lost descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and not to the Gentiles (the Samaritans) is that the discourse that Jesus preached to His disciples happened before the cross and the resurrection day. By means, the apostles were born under the Jewish law, where there is a distinction between Jew and Gentile. The disciples were not allowed to have contact with the Gentiles because according to the old covenant, it was forbidden and …show more content…

First, the mandate to continue proclaiming about the Kingdom of God that came through Jesus is still the primary task that we need to do every day. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be His messenger. We are appointed to be the ambassador of Jesus, that brings the message about the Kingdom of God to everybody.

Response to the Letter sent on February 2018 Matthew 2:2, “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him”.

“The Sermon on the Mount” is an excerpt from the Gospel of Matthew. In this story Jesus charges his followers to follow his eight beatitudes. The most important beatitude Jesus states at the mount is “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”(Matthew 5:10-12). This is the most important beatitude because it helped the early Church. This line is the inspiration to martyrs, that in their deaths then inspired others to become Christians.

Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23, NKJV). This verse speaks volumes about our duties as Christian men and women. I wish it were not so, but there are many in this world who do and will not take up their cross. I cannot rightly say that I blame them, for Jesus Himself mentions in Matthew chapter 7, verse 13 that this will not be an easy undertaking. He said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it”.

Morris’ Studies in the Fourth Gospel presents John via interaction with concepts concerning the Gospel’s identity with origins while attempting to reveal its true nature. At frequent junctures Morris introduces scholars who make reasoned contributions to our knowledge. Barrett for example states that this Gospel is not written in a vacuum, there is a interrelationship among the 3 Gospels that cannot be explained short of direct literary interdependence.

This interdependence is countered by critics citing variations in data recorded or in style of writing viewed amongst the Gospels.
