"You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the
world." Matthew 5:13-14 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and
on this rock I will build My church." Matthew 16:18 The world tries
to define us in different ways. We try to define ourselves one way
or another. But who are we really? How does God define us? The
Gospel of Matthew was written to a group of Christians who didn't
yet know who they were. They were faithful Jews in the synagogue
community in Galilee who had found the Messiah. Jesus had changed
everything. But how should they think of themselves now, as Jewish
or Christian? What did it all mean? Matthew writes his Gospel to
help his readers define their new identity as followers of Jesus
the Messiah. Michael Card unpacks how Matthew's emphasis on
fulfillment confirms their Jewish connection to the Torah, while
his focus on the kingdom helps them understand their new identities
in Christ. Matthew presents this process of redefinition as an
exercise of the imagination, in which Jesus reshapes who we are in
light of who he is. Come alongside Matthew in this pilgrimage, and
discover how your new identity in Christ fulfills all that you are
meant to be.
