The Words of Jesus: A Devotional Study from Matthew's Gospel

For those of us who call ourselves believers, we understand that the words of Jesus are not ordinary words. They are sacred words. They are precious words. The words of Jesus are filled not with some truth, but all truth because He is the truth (John 14:6). When the Gospel writers, through the Holy Spirit, penned the inerrant words of Jesus, they provided generations with majestic, glorious words - words filled with wisdom; words that carry life, eternal life.

From the heart and mind of an experienced pastor and expositor, these daily devotions from the Book of Matthew focus on the words of Jesus, analyzed in great detail to offer the reader fresh insights into the heart and mind of Christ. Let the ancient words of the Savior speak to you a message that is as relevant today as it was almost 2000 years ago when He spoke them.
