Part 6

Matthew

Chapter 26
28 Blood of the new covenant? there was an old covenant...?

*Jesus did not want to die and suffer. ...he was human.

Chapter 27

The ground shakes and the holy dead rise at Jesus's death

Chapter 28

18 Jesus has been given all authority on heaven and earth.
19. I must go make disciples of all nations. I must baptize them in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.
20. I must teach them to obey all of Jesus's commands.


Matthew Final Summary.
Well.  This book is over.   Some High Points as I see them:
*I must swallow my pride, fear, selfishness if I am to be in the kingdom of heaven. A disciple of Jesus.
* I must not worry about any earthly, physical problem. I should only be concerned about my spiritual self.
* Jesus is my foundation. My cornerstone. It will be through him I will have access to the kingdom. It will be my faith in him that makes all of this so.
* A follower of Jesus I must keep his commandments. I must go out and make more disciples out of people and baptize them. They must obey Jesus's Commands.

This has given me a good basis of knowledge. There is yet some information to be desired...more detail. The kingdom, and how I must make the transition into it. That is still cloudy. I feel like the must be more commands as well. I feel like Matthew has focused a lot on the general code of conduct for a member of the kingdom... but is there not more to it than that?
