"A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns." (Matthew 24:45-47 NLTse).This series on Matthew contains simple stories bringing the lessons Jesus taught alive, as well as making all of them much easier to remember and share. As I was writing the last few chapters in this book on Matthew's Gospel, my mind was filled with the question, how could Jesus' disciples miss the lessons He tried to teach about His death and resurrection? Why were His disciples unprepared for that scene at the cross? The stories in this book are written by looking back at what Jesus taught, and how He taught His disciples. Then the stories look into the thoughts of a common man who lived with a supernatural teacher for years. This book offers suggestions of what went through the minds of the disciples, and other people involved with the scene at the cross. Once you read this series of books, your views on the Gospels, and Jesus' mission in this world will never be the same.
