THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus always lived a Lifestyle every minute in a manner such that with any

 inspection, from any viewpoint, the New Testament ALWAYS reveals that 

JESUS was OBEDIENT to HIS FATHER! 

The Questions, Lessons and Parables that Jesus used to Teach the 

TRUTH OF GOD 

our Father are always presented in the Gospels in a way such that the

 reader will Gain Understanding of the TRUTH OF GOD — all we have

 to do to understand TRUTH is to observe how 

Jesus lived His own Life in the flesh through the SPIRIT OF GOD! 

The Scofield Bible introduces the Gospel written by St. Matthew as follows: 

“The first of the four Gospels was written by Matthew, also called Levi,

 who was an Apostle of Jesus and this Gospel that carries his name 

was originally written for the Jews and presents Christ as the Son of David 

and the Son of Abraham. Because Jesus is portrayed in Matthew’s Gospel 

as King, the genealogy of Jesus is traced back to King David. Only in

 Matthew does Christ Himself 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.”

It is safe to say that the main theme in this Gospel according to Matthew is that 

Jesus Christ IS the King! 

Matthew does an excellent job of documenting the Life and Teachings

 of Jesus in a manner that clearly demonstrates that only Jesus Christ 

by His Birth, Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection fulfills all the 

prophecies written about the Messiah and the “Soon Coming King”. 

This introduction of The Jesus Questions JQ#1 thru JQ#33 is to alert 

the reader that every Step Jesus Took and every Lesson that Jesus 

Taught was to illuminate the WAY and guide the reader 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 with: 

“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,

 the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1) 

and with the first three chapters, Matthew sets the stage for the Ministry

 and the Teachings of Jesus Christ. Matthew then 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 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. Also in Jewish tradition,

 the Jewish genealogy uses the “first born male” to perpetuate 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)! 

 Jesus fulfills 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, 

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end,

 upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, 

and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth 

even for ever. 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 and LORD of Lords! 

In case you have not been formerly introduced to the most important 

NAME 

in the history of life itself —

 HIS NAME IS JESUS!
