THE JESUS QUESTIONS

DECEMBER  14  THE JESUS QUESTIONS   SUMMARY-01 of the Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus: JQ#1-JQ#31  (Matthew 1:1 thru 26:16)  Jesus always lived a Lifestyle every minute in a manner that any inspection, from any viewpoint, ALWAYS revealed Jesus was  ALWAYS OBEDIENT to His Father! The Questions, Lessons and Parables that Jesus used to Teach the TRUTH OF GOD were always presented in such a way that to Gain Understanding of the Truth, all we have to do is look at how Jesus lived His own Life in the flesh through the SPIRIT OF GOD. “The first of the four Gospels was written by Matthew, also called Levi, who was an Apostle of Jesus and this Gospel  by Matthew was originally written for the Jews and presents Christ as the Son of David and the Son of Abraham. Because He is portrayed as King, His genealogy is traced to King David. Only in Matthew does Christ speak of ‘the throne of His glory’. In this Gospel according to Matthew, Jerusalem is referred to as ‘the Holy City’ and ‘the city of the great King’…since Matthew is the Gospel of the King, it is also the Gospel of the ‘kingdom’  and in this Gospel written by Matthew, the word ‘kingdom’ appears more than fifty times and the expression ‘the kingdom of heaven’ which is found nowhere else in the New Testament, appears about thirty times.” {{See The Scofield Study Bible, New King James version. Copyright ** 2002 by Oxford University Press, Inc. pg.1299}} It is safe to say that the main theme in this Gospel according to Matthew is that Jesus Christ is the King and Matthew does an excellent job of documenting the Life and Teachings of Jesus that clearly demonstrates that only Jesus Christ and His Birth, Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection fulfills all the prophecies written about the Messiah and the “Soon Coming King”. This section of The Jesus Questions then is going to take The Jesus Questions JQ#1 thru JQ#31 and summarize them in an order to confirm and demonstrate that every step Jesus took and every lesson that Jesus taught was to illuminate the WAY to the “Truth of God His Father” and to “the kingdom of heaven” where Jesus Christ will Rule as King for all Eternity! Matthew begins his Gospel “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:” (Matthew 1:1) and for the next four chapters Matthew is setting the stage for the ministry and the teachings of Jesus. Matthew at the end of Chapter 3 quotes Jesus for the first time in the Gospel, “But Jesus answered and said to [John the Baptist], ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’” (Matthew 3:15) Matthew, in Chapter 1, lists the Genealogy of Jesus Christ starting with “Abraham begot Isaac …and Jesse begot David the king…and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.” (Matthew 1:1-17) Thus Matthew, in the Jewish tradition lists the genealogy of Jesus through the “husband” and declares the birth mother of Jesus Christ and in deep Jewish tradition, the Jewish genealogy is always given through the “Family” line! Thus Matthew establishes that Jesus can trace His Genealogy back to Abraham through Isaac and Jacob and can claim the fulfillment of the “Promise of God” to Abraham that “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3) and the Promise of God to King David through the prophet Isaiah, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7). Thus Matthew tied Jesus to prophecy and establishes Jesus as the True Heir to the Throne of Thrones as King of Kings!
