The Sermon on the Mount. The Olivet Discourse. The Great Commission. The Lord's Prayer. Every verse of Matthew is packed with infinite wisdom and spiritual depth. But which specific verse had the greatest impact on you and why?

“He saved others ... but he can’t save himself!” They claimed that God would have rescued Him if He was truly God’s Son. However, if Jesus had spared Himself, He could not have saved others. In fact, His staying power proved His deity. God the Father did not rescue Jesus because His love compelled Him to rescue us.

Matthew 28:5-6 states, "The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." This is our reason to celebrate on this and every Easter, by laying our lives at the feet of our risen Savior Jesus and calling Him Lord for today, tomorrow and eternity. Hallelujah!

Jesus arms believers with the truth about what is to come and calls them to watchfulness, readiness, and expectancy. While the wickedness in the world will escalate, God’s people are filled with hope as they await what is absolutely certain. With joyful anticipation, Christians should work diligently in the power of the Holy Spirit to love truth and build God’s kingdom. We can be secure because nothing will prevail over this promised hope. Jesus is coming again!

BSFer Carole Leung from Australia has produced a stunning visual rebuke - "Final Charges Against the Religious Leaders" - which perfectly captures Jesus' harsh words to the Pharisees in Matthew 22 and 23. This unforgettable painting should drive us all to our knees, praying that our merciful God would keep us humble and seeking to lead others to the feet of our one and only Messiah, Jesus.

In Matthew 21, Jesus encounters a fig tree on the road that has leafs but no figs. He curses the tree, which withers and dies before the disciple's astonished eyes. Jesus’ curse on the fig tree powerfully demonstrated His authority to judge everything and everyone within creation. While appearances can deceive people, God knows the truth. He knows if what people see on the outside truly reflects what is in your heart. God rightfully expects His people to bear fruit that comes from a heart that belongs to Him. For God’s children, bearing fruit offers evidence of genuine faith. Just as a fruit tree should naturally bear fruit, the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit flows naturally from a redeemed heart. God rejects fruitless religion but empowers obedient faith. Surrender to God not only removes the penalty for sin but invites you into a fruitful and flourishing life.
