In this lesson we compare the story and mission of Jesus with the story and mission of Israel. Matthew has lots of unique material that reinforces this equation. Yes, Jesus is Son of David and Son of God. But He is also Israel. We’ve seen before that Noah and Abraham were like Adam, and that David’s sons were like David. But this is the first time we’ve really seen an individual echo so many details from the stories of Israel, the nation.

It’s fascinating stuff, and we think you’ll enjoy it. Let’s take a closer look.
