This week's audio podcast : https://soundcloud.com/drandrewc/the-matthew-project-part-7?si=00c7de00300547d38782d75b5fc4131a&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

The Gospel of Matthew was written by an eye-witness of Jesus the Christ - what He did, what He taught, the miracles He performed, the lives He transformed, and how people responded to Him. It was originally written to Jews who were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their promised anointed Messiah.
After being with Jesus for nearly three years in which the 12 disciples heard what Jesus preached and saw the miracles He performed, Christ commissioned His disciples to go out in pairs and do likewise. But He also warned them that ultimately the day would come when they would be persecuted for no other reason than they were His disciples.
Christ's warnings about the inevitability of persecution teaches us several truths:
(1) Persecution is spiritually motivated by evil forces.
(2) It's not about you, it's about the devilish enemy's hatred of Christ and therefore His servants.
(3) Persecution is not logical, fair, or rational.
(4) What Christ expects of His disciples when they are being persecuted is courageous faithfulness - which Christ Himself modelled to them.

-= The Authority, Infallibility, and Divine Inspiration of the Bible =-

Nearly everything we do is built on trust. When we eat we trust that we will not be poisoned by the cook. When we go for a walk we trust that other walkers will not bump us out of their way. When someone tells us something we trust that they are telling us the truth. In fact, there is hardly anything we do in our everyday lives that does not involve trust. While we generally trust those we have come to know, we readily trust some people whom we do not know if they are people possessing appropriate authority such as a policeman, or a medical doctor or an airline pilot. The right authority invites and engenders trust. Christians trust the Bible because it derives from the highest authority – God. In fact, Christians have good reasons (a rationale) for believing that the Bible is divinely inspired and the only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.

The Bible is not the only ‘book’ that God has given mankind. Christians believe that God has given two ‘ books ’ to mankind – (i) the written, authoritative Word of God, and (ii) the ‘book of nature’ – and that by either, a person may come to know the Creator. But as Article 2 of the Belgic Confession (1559) states, it is only the Bible which is ...
