Threshold Bible Study: Jesus, the Messianic King -- Part Two: Matthew 17-28 Stephen J. Binz

The second half of Matthew s Gospel moves from the Transfiguration to the Resurrection, announcing Jesus as the world s true King. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus bring the hopes of ancient Israel to their dramatic climax, linking Jesus royal character to his humble service and self-sacrificing love. This study completes the unique portrait of Jesus developed in the first half of Matthew s Gospel and offers firm guidance for the Church and disciples today.
