Summary

Do you remember meeting someone who changed your life? Perhaps their smile brightened your day. Or their encouraging words were just what you needed. Maybe they introduced you to someone, knew of a job opening, or pointed you to a home that was for sale. A simple encounter could change your day or even change your life. Matthew's life was changed when he met Jesus. And this tax collector spent the rest of his life convincing others that Jesus was more than a carpenter. Matthew shares the glorious good news about Jesus' extraordinary life. His virgin birth and stormy infancy. His public ministry filled with wilderness temptations, teachings, parables, and miracles. His horrific death followed by a triumphant resurrection. His divine compassion and relentless concern. His power and authority. Matthew's Gospel-from start to finish-reminds us that Jesus is much more than just a carpenter. He is our King. Book jacket.
