Matthews gospel focuses on the Kingship of Christthat Jesus is Lord of Lords, the Messiah, the One promised by the prophets of old. But a king is not born in a manger, to a virgin peasant, and a king is definitely not executed on a Roman cross, is he? Actually, thats exactly the type of King God sent to the world. While the Jews were looking for a political king to save them from Roman oppression, God sent them and the rest of the world a different type of Saviorone that would reconcile Gods people to himself, once for all. Pastor, author, and Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe highlights significant cultural and historical aspects that arise in Matthews gospel to paint for readers a clearer picture of this glorious, unexpected, but all-satisfying King of Kings.
