Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Gibbs, professor emeritus of exegetical theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and author of the three Concordia Commentary volumes on Matthew, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to introduce the Gospel of Matthew. Find the Commentaries on Matthew at cph.org. Christ's Reign has come. Christ's reign continues. His reign is coming. His mercy is beyond our understanding as we commit sins. Since He is the king, we are not. Since He is strong, I am weak. He is the greatest, therefore we are needy. We begin our study of Matthew seeing how our Lord Jesus' mercy is beyond our comprehension and we simply receive the grace He gives. “Lord God, give us Your Holy Spirit to read, mark, and inwardly digest the gift of Matthew's Gospel to grow in Christ and for the comfort of our souls. In Him, Amen”

Matthew Scholar Dr. Jeffrey Gibbs joins Justin Rossow in this episode of the Next Step Podcast to talk all things Epiphany while walking through Chapter 11: What Child Is This? from the resource Light in the Darkness: A Hymn Journal for Advent & Christmas. After a brief introduction and an opening prayer, you'll hear Jeff translate the Matthew passage on page 107 from his Greek New Testament, and then proceed to talk through some of the meaning of that text. As part of the discussion, Justin will read the devotion on page 108, titled "So Bring Him Incense, Gold, and Myrrh." After we listen to the Brooke and Brenan arrangement of this chapter's featured hymn, Jeff and Justin will discuss more in depth the three gifts, the magi, their guiding star, and what it means for us that God would lead people like that to Jesus. You might hear a passing reference to a blog from last Epiphany: A Change of Epiphany Bumper Stickers.

Rev. Wally Arp We live in a world of stark contrasts. The Jesus Adventure can only be seen and experienced if God reveals it to us. An unspecified period of time has passed when Magi from the east come seeking a newborn King. But those who should have known, the religious leaders, seem oblivious, and Herod is darkly curious. “This is the contrast between knowledge and ignorance, faith and unbelief, truth and hypocrisy” (Concordia Commentary, Jeffrey Gibbs). Herod governs by fear, deceit, and murder. The newborn King Jesus is unknown, weak, and in need of protection. Following Jesus into the year 2020 will require God’s ongoing revelation and his strength to live in the tension between the way of the world and the way of life in Christ.
