“But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,” …(Matthew 9:6)
Now, today, to us, that is what matters. That Christ can forgive our sins. That He is the Messiah, the King of the Jews. That He has authority over death, sickness, nature, and eternity. He is the King of all who gave himself as a sacrifice on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins and He is coming back to punish the wicked, reward the righteous, and rule this world.
In a world that questions and undermines every authority, this book reminds us that our loving Savior rules sovereignly, and graciously, mercifully offers every sinner forgiveness for every act of rebellion. Matthew shows us Christ’s authority over all and His love for all. If your world is falling apart, you will see Christ in control of everything. If you see the rulers of this world destroying everything, you will see Him building His church and kingdom despite their best efforts. If you feel helpless in the face of sin and death, you will see Him the redeemer of sinners and ruler of Eternity.
Do I really need to say that you should read it?
