Our series through matthew
Highland,
We took another lap through the Gospel of Matthew last Sunday, Highland! We completed chapter three together! As we see John the Baptist reverently accept the request of Jesus to baptize Him, we behold a moment to savor! Sheer obedience, forsaking all personal glory, Jesus and John seeking the glory of the Lord, in unity!
The theme of our series through Matthew is: The Beauty of the Heart of Christ! Perhaps, The Beauty of the Heart of Christ should serve as our theme song throughout the series (see post to view video of song if you’re reading our email)? In this moment, the first attribute of the beauty of the heart of Christ is revealed: submission.
Seeing Submission in Matthew Three
Notice that John does not exert himself, nor bear a feigned-humility – he reveres Jesus in yielding to His request. As Jesus yields to His Father’s will, submitting to the waters of baptism, going under reflects submerging himself to the wrath of God. In rising, Jesus foretells the overcoming of sin and death to come!
How submission reveals the beauty of the heart of Christ

We then glanced at how submission reveals the beauty of the heart of Christ in our hearts and in our relationships. Click here to listen to last week’s sermon.
