The Last Supper
Jesus wants us to take advantage of trouble. His kingdom was established by His trouble, and it is advanced through our trouble. When we face trouble, instead of fear, anger and despair, Jesus wants us to have courage and poise. How? By putting on God's worldview, which let's us understand the true cause of Jesus' death; By knowing that the purpose of Jesus' death was to set you free; And to know the power of Jesus' death which gives you a completely new identity in Christ.

Prepare for the King, pt. 1 (Matthew 3:1-4)
All four gospels record the ministry of John the Baptist from their own unique perspective according to their purpose. Luke, alone, includes the narrative of his birth. But all three synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) all include this initial phase of John’s ministry in the wilderness. The apostle John, written much later, covers this same period, but emphasizes the Baptist’s role as witness to the Messiah and alone announces Him as “The Lamb that takes away the sin of the world.†Luke is written to present an accurate historical account, so he fills in many of the details left out by Matthew and in this sense is more helpful from a historical point of view. However, Luke and Matthew’s purposes are different. Matthew’s goal is to present Jesus Christ as King, the King the prophets looked forward to and the people should have been expecting. Matthew is, in this sense, more interested in the message than the details. Thus, with little introduction John the Baptist explodes onto the scene of Matthew’s gospel, in order to accentuate, with all its force, the message by which the way for the King would be prepared: “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.â€

It's a Heart Thing
1 John 3:20-21 says, “For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward Godâ€. Confidence and condemnation are polar opposites, with opposite effect. When we’re confident we draw near. When we’re condemned we draw back. But, both, confidence and condemnation have this in common – they are purely subjective. They are subjective experiences of the heart based on what is believed to be true – objectively. Condemnation comes from believing the lie of the accuser, whereas confidence comes from believing the truth of God’s righteousness. Condemnation is the anticipation of rejection. Confidence is the anticipation of acceptance. It’s a heart thing.
