St Matthew - something new out of the old

Morning: Psalm 119:41-64; Isaiah 8:11-20; Romans 10:1-15

Evening: Psalm 19, 112; Job 28:12-28; Matthew 13:44-52

This is St. Matthew’s Day. His Gospel is a work of great artistry that connects the ancient wisdom and hope of Israel with the hope and promise that find fresh expression in Jesus. His parables of the kingdom presume you would give everything you had to bring it about; it is more precious than anything you could imagine. Matthew spent his life inviting others to seek the ‘kingdom of God’. It is a priceless treasure because following the Way of Jesus brings justice and truth to life.
