Labeling Jesus \"Messiah\" drives us into the Old Testament to see the anticipations of what God had planned all along. Matthew loves to point his readers to Old Testament passages that are fulfilled in something Jesus did or said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the message of the Gospel of Matthew is about Jesus as the Messiah, the implication of that message for us today is discipleship. A disciple is one who has been apprenticed to Jesus the way someone young becomes a carpenter by learning from an experienced carpenter. A disciple is someone who follows the way of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you will find in this Bible study is an in-depth exploration of four terms that summarize discipleship in Matthew: righteousness, mission, cross-life, and love (of God, of others, of self). Discover the poignant insights from the heart of a pastor, real-world relevance for your daily life, and thoughtful questions to get at the heart of the message to follow the Messiah today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the New Testament Everyday Bible Study series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament.
