We Have Four Gospels
Not Compete
Not Contradict
But That Complement Each Other

Focus of the Gospels
Matthew – “What He Said”
Mark – “What He Did”
Luke – “What He Felt”
John – “Who He Was”

The Message of Matthew
“Jesus Is King”

Written To and For A Jewish Audience

Today
Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because:
1. Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
2. Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
3. Biblical verses “referring” to Jesus are mistranslations.
4. Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

Proof #3

Jesus Own Words

Mathew 27:11
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”

1. Is He King?

John 18:36
36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world [nor does it have its origin in this world]. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting [hard] to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this world.”

Matthew 28:18 (AMP)
18 Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

2. If Jesus Is King,

He Has A Kingdom

Matthew 4:17 AMP
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

He Might Be Your Savior, But Is He Your King?
People Love Him As Savior But Do They Obey Him As King?

A Savior Gets You To Heaven, King Rules Your Life

“Jesus You Can Have The Title, King
Just Don’t Tell Me What To Do, How to think, or what to feel”

A Kingdom is a domain over which a ruler sits and exercise authority

The Kingdom Is The Kings Dominion

It’s Not A Democracy, You Don’t Get A Vote
He’s Not Seeking Your Opinion, He Is Declaring What He Wants

What Do You Want Me To Do About This?
Your Response, “Yes Lord”

3. If He Is King, Is He Your King?

Jesus is King Means: Jesus Has Final Say Over Every Decision In My Life

King Led The Army into Battle
A Flag Was Lowered When He Was At War
The Time of Peace Was When The Flag Was Raise
The King Was On His Throne
All Is Peaceful

Ephesians 1:20-21
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
