I was sitting in a restaurant a couple of years ago when a girl of about eight, at the next table, asked her dad a riddle: 'What goes on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?' (more...) |

After the cost, the privilege. Matthew Chapter 10 is composed of Jesus' instructions to the disciples as he sends them out to spread his message of good news (10.5). The costs may be high (10.36-38), but in these three verses which end the block of teaching there is different theme: 'Anyone who receives you, receives me' (10.40).

But in any of his films, you'll find him tucked away somewhere, adding his own personal signature to his work. Matthew's gospel contains a similar cameo appearance by its author in 9.9-13 (see the note below on Matthew's authorship of the gospel). Perhaps unsurprisingly, this appearance touches on a theme at the very heart of the gospel. 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' might be the subtitle for Matthew's gospel. Jesus says to the Pharisees that they must go and learn what the phrase means, for 'I have come not to call the righteous but sinners' (Matt. 9.13). (more...) |
