Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully start our feast in Matthew 1. I learned more about myself this last weekend; it seems that I needed God’s gift as much as anyone. This was in areas I didn’t even think to look in. “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned." (Matthew 4:16). Remember I’m still looking for your thoughts and prayer about admenu. You can contact me at mlitew8@yahoo.com. Lord willing I’ll send the feast again tomorrow.
“[Freedom From Human Regulations Through Life With Christ] So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”- Colossians 2:6-7

Matthew Overview
“Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by St. Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach20them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.” (Matthew Henry’s Concise)
