THIRTY YEARS OLD THE LIVING WORD Week 29: The Beginning Ministry of Jesus (Selections from the Four Gospels) God’s Story Chronological Bible Reading Plan spends 12 weeks on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The first two (weeks 28 & 29) and the last two (weeks 38 & 39) will be presented in chronological order. The eight weeks in between will instead be presented categorically covering Jesus’ teachings, parables, miracles and prayers. Each week, a portion of the life of Jesus as found in the gospels will be presented in a table. This week, a chart of Jesus’ birth and childhood is provided. From the age of 12 to the age of 30, Scriptures are silent about the life of Jesus. We can assume that Jesus spent much of His time helping His father in the carpentry trade while living in Nazareth. But it isn’t until Jesus’ thirtieth year, that the Bible picks up the story and unfolds the last three years of His earthly life. Jesus commenced His ministry by being baptized by His cousin John. At His baptism the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove and God the Father testified “this is My beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased.” The Spirit then led Him into the wilderness to be tested for 40 days. While the evil one tried to convince Jesus to prove He was the Son of God by showing off His power, Jesus instead proved His worthiness by not yielding to temptation. From there, Jesus called some of His disciples and began to minister in His home area, with the first recorded miracle being the turning of the tasteless water into the best joyous wine of the wedding. So He still does today—intoxicating the ordinary—one life at a time!

Teaching the Multitudes

Matthew arranges the narrative of Jesus’ last three years in a pattern. He presents certain facts concerning the work of Jesus and then follows that with an account of Jesus’ teaching. Each teaching account is brought to a conclusion with one of the following three phrases: “And when Jesus had finished these words,” “finished giving instructions,” or “finished these parables.”

Chapter

In some passages, it is clear that Matthew holds the traditions of Judaism in high esteem, and it is clear that his own community are Jewish Christians in orientation. He portrays Jesus’ mission as being directed exclusively to Jews but at the end of the gospel, Jesus’ “great commission” to His disciples expands the mission to include Gentiles. And though Matthew seems to hold the Mosaic law in particularly high esteem, even portraying Jesus as insisting on a radically strict adherence to it, his attitude is particularly negative when dealing with the Jewish authorities. But throughout Matthew’s gospel, the goal is to demonstrate that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament Jewish prophecy. There are twelve fulfillment citations from prophets, where Matthew explicitly states that an event in Jesus’ life has fulfilled prophecy. He has over 200 quotes or allusions to the Old Testament.

MATTHEW: Jesus the Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy

MATTHEW – Lion King of Judah

Matthew, the old tax collector, provides an account of the earthly life of Jesus. He describes His genealogy, His miraculous birth and childhood, His baptism and temptation, His ministry of healing and preaching in Galilee, His trip to Jerusalem marked by an incident in the Temple, and finally His crucifixion and resurrection. The resurrected Jesus then commissions His apostles to “go and make disciples of all nations.”
