Series of the year: The King is the Issue
(continued from 2010)
This is the message of Matthew: there is a King, and he has come. He has come just as God promised, God in man, Lord and baby, worshipped and vilified. He has come to save; he has come to forgive; he has come to rule; he will come to judge.
Therefore, for everyone on earth - every woman and man; mother, father, child, sibling; student, home-maker, professional, tradesperson - for everyone, there is only one issue. The King is the Issue.
This is the message of Matthew.
