If we look closely at some of the individual verses in Matthew, we can see how much like a King He Was!
He had the name of a KING “They shall call his name Emmanuel” (Matthew 1:23).
He had the place of a KING “Out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel” (Matthew 2:6).
He had the fanfare of a KING “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight (Matthew 3:3).
He had the coronation of a KING “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).
He had the respect due to a KING “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall thou serve” (Matthew 4:10).
He had the authority to speak as a KING “And he opened his mouth, and taught them” (Matthew 5:2). “He taught them as one having authority …” (Matthew 7:29).
He had the authority to make the demands of a king: What characterizes those seekers of God’s kingdom or ruling in life? Matthew 6:33
Every desire of life must be tested in relation to the King.
