As we have been working our way through Matthew’s Gospel, we came to the moment of Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem. But Matthew has not given us all the details. Neither have any of the Gospel writers. But sometimes one of them will share some information that the others have not. What we end up doing is having to put all the pieces of this jigsaw together. If we were to follow Matthew’s chronology, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey’s foal, and straightaway went and cleansed the temple. However, that doesn’t......

Here are some sermon notes that might help any who want to study this further! As we saw in the previous chapter, Jericho was the last leg of Jesus’ journey towards Jerusalem. However, more or less on the outskirts of Jerusalem there are two villages, Bethphage and Bethany. Perhaps the people standing by or the owner understood ‘The Lord’ to be ‘God’, but quite possibly they also understood that ‘The Lord’ was Jesus! Some have suggested that this was a prearranged ‘password’ or ‘codeword’, but it is more likely that it is......

Matthew’s Gospel gives the account of two blind men receiving their sight, in, or around, Jericho. Mark tells us of one blind man, and names him Bartimaeus. And Luke likewise speaks of one blind man. There are reasons for these different accounts, but the bottom line is that there are too many similarities to think that 3 Blind Men received their sight at the same location, and in the same way. These blind men had no physical sight, but they certainly had spiritual sight to be able to recognise who Jesus was,......

Jesus had just spoken in advance (“Predicted”) the betrayal, suffering, mocking, and scourging, and death by crucifixion, that He would shortly have to experience, followed by His resurrection. And straight after that, in interesting timing, the mother of two of His disciples, approached Him with her two son, James and John, with a “special request”! It could be that this woman was Salome, mentioned in Mk.15:40-41 and Mk.16:1. If so, then she could also be Mary’s sister (John 19:25), which would mean that James and John were cousins of Jesus. Could it be that three......

There are 3 occasions where Jesus told His disciples about the events that would soon unfold leading to His Death, Burial, and Resurrection. These began at Matt.16:21-23. Then again in Matt.17:22-23, And then again here at Matt.20:17-19. Each time Jesus added a little bit more information on how things would work out. He didn’t so much “predict” that “I don’t think things are looking to good as we go up to Jerusalem….The religious leaders might not like Me!” He had spoken of what MUST take place, and spoke of what WILL happen. You see, there are no coincidences or chance happenings......

This parable sits between two identical statements of Jesus. In Matt. 19:30 Jesus had said, “But many who are the first will be last, and the last first.” Then in Matt.20:16 Jesus also said, “So the last will be first, and the first last. ” That last line isn’t found in the NU text, but it is found later in Matt.22:14, which might suggest a scribal error. The context throughout has been salvation, and you’ll find that the point of the parable of the labourers in......

In this didactic psalm of David’s he shows how he came under the conviction of God’s Spirit, leading him to acknowledge and confess his sin, which led him to forgiveness. Of course David had to believe that he was forgiven. After this experience, David seems to be describing the life of Christian believers today, who can teach and instruct others into the ways of righteousness. There is great reason to be glad, and rejoice and even sing songs of deliverance. To see the video from today’s service, you can simply click on this......
