The Gospel of Matthew: The Fulfillment of Redemption Through the One to Come - Paperback

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among men in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. The Logos, resisted and rejected as reason, as general revelation, and as special (redemptive) revelation, comes once more to man and is crucified. He came to accomplish redemption and now rules to apply redemption. Jesus came as Messiah, full of grace and truth. It is by His life and death that this grace and truth come. He came to undo what Adam did (as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world) and to do what Adam failed to do (to rule by His Spirit, exercising dominion through His people-the Church, to make God known). No man has ever seen God. God is made known only through His Word, His only begotten Son. The Son, through the fullness of grace, makes God fully known.
