Matthew: Repentance,

The longer you look at Jesus the more you will want to serve Him in His world.  That is, of course, if it's the real Jesus you're looking at.  Plenty of people in the church and outside it have made up a different Jesus for themselves, an invented character who makes few real demands on them.  He makes them feel happy from time to time, but does not challenge them.  He does not suggest they get up and do something about the plight of the world - something the real Jesus had an uncomfortable habit of doing.  Our desire is to take a long look at the real Jesus in our current teaching series is in Matthew’s Gospel.  Our desire is to learn more about Jesus through the record of His life and teaching, knowing Him more intimately, that we would live for Him more passionately.
