Matthew | Get Ready The King Is Coming
For two chapters, Matthew has been building his case that Jesus is the Messiah. He has shown us the genealogy, the fulfillment of prophecy, the story of Joseph’s obedience, the virgin birth, Bethlehem, Egypt, and God’s protection through incredibly complicated circumstances.
Today, everything changes. Almost thirty years have passed since that last scene. Jesus grew up in Nazareth. He learned a trade, lived under authority, and did what His Father asked in the hidden, ordinary, unrecorded years of His life.
But now, the silence breaks. Before Jesus steps into public ministry, God sends someone ahead of Him. A voice in the wilderness. A voice with one clear message: The King is coming. Ready or not.
