Meet Jesus in Matthew 11:2-20:34 the merciful Lord who heals, teaches, calls the weary, and journeys resolutely toward the cross for the salvation of the world.
Who is Jesus--and what does it mean to follow Him? Through eight accessible sessions, this Concordia Commentary Bible Study traces Matthew 11:2-20:34, where Christ's words and works reveal Him as the promised Messiah, the Lord of the Sabbath, the Shepherd who seeks the lost, and the Son of God who came to serve.
Features of Concordia Commentary Bible Studies:
- Written by top authors
- Room for individual notes
- Focused on historical, theological, and practical considerations of the text
- Participants and leader notes printed in the same book
- Opening hymn and/or prayer for each session
Walk alongside John the Baptist, puzzled disciples, hungry crowds, children, a rich young man, and those who oppose Jesus. Consider Christ's parables of the kingdom, His abundant feedings, His transfiguration, and His clear teaching about faith, forgiveness, humility, and cross-bearing discipleship.
Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Jeffrey A. Gibbs's Concordia Commentaryon Matthew, find historical context, theological reflection, discussion questions, practical application, prayers, and leader guides for each session. Go beyond your own strength to Jesus, whose gentle and lowly heart brings rest to the weary.
For individual reading, adult Bible classes, or small groups, this study helps Christians hear Christ's invitation afresh: "Come to Me."
