Live the Word Commentary: Matthew

In his New Testament commentary series, John Stanko captures the essence of each verse, with plenty of questions and tips to not only help you understand the Word, but also to apply it in your everyday life.

In this volume, John looks at Matthew's message to his fellow Jews, recording Jesus' words and acts to prove He was their promised Messiah. As you read, you will notice Jesus says again and again: "I tell you the truth." His words sounded so abnormal to Israel's subnormal spirituality that He had to regularly promise He was speaking the truth Whether for a small group Bible study guide or a personal devotional book, this commentary will walk you through Matthew's gospel and cause Jesus' teaching, parables, and interactions with others to come alive in practical and relevant ways for you.
