Matthew Chapter 4

Book Description:

Matthew Chapter 4 moves from the lonely wilderness to the shining shores of Galilee. Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness, fasts forty days and forty nights, faces the tempter, and answers every attack with the written Word of God.

This verse-by-verse Bible study walks carefully through the temptation of Jesus, the meaning of true Sonship, the misuse and right use of Scripture, the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy, the beginning of Jesus' kingdom preaching, the calling of the first disciples, and the spread of His healing ministry through Galilee, Syria, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Written for readers who want more than a surface reading, this study explores the Jewish setting, Old Testament background, Gospel parallels, wilderness testing, spiritual warfare, discipleship, prophecy, geography, and the authority of Jesus as the Messiah.

Matthew Chapter 4 reveals the faithful Son who overcomes where others failed, calls ordinary men to follow Him, brings light to those sitting in darkness, and begins proclaiming the kingdom of heaven.
