Follow Me: An in-depth study of the Gospel of Matthew (In-depth Bible Study Series by Elizabeth Ficken)

Radical. Fanatical. Different. Is this the kind of disciple that Jesus wants? The Gospel according to Matthew tells us it is! What did Jesus say that caused men to abandon their jobs and embrace this extreme calling? And what did Jesus do that made people flock to be near Him? Why did Jesus befriend twelve men and mentor them for three years? Why did Jesus make enemies with religious leaders? Why did Jesus endure betrayal, torture, and death? What happened after He died?Who was this man and what would He say to you? This study of the gospel of Matthew will give you the answers to these questions and challenge you to a more passionate commitment to Jesus. You will learn from Matthew’s eye-witness perspective, his proofs from Old Testament Scriptures, and his presentation of five Sermons of Jesus, just Who Jesus is, what He did, and what He said. Matthew’s life was drastically changed from his encounter with Jesus. Yours will be too. While the beloved disciple, John, tells us that Jesus is the Son of God; Luke’s research tells us that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind; and Mark’s account tells us that Jesus is the Servant of God; the Gospel according to Matthew tells us that Jesus is the Son of Man who is the Son of God, the Messiah, the King of the Jews. The King sent out an invitation across the lands: “Follow Me.” How can you say no to Jesus?
