Resources and Insights about this Week's Lesson

This week we continue to study the miracles of Jesus. Many of these miracles overlap other lessons. In an effort to organize the different accounts more concisely, a separate page titled Miracles of Jesus has been added to the website, and it appears on the title bar above. This link lists the miracles in the order that they appear in the New Testament account and includes the following information:

Cross-references the miracles as they appear in the different books of the Gospels
Links to Church Videos
Links to available Chosen Clips
Links to additional videos and resources (in progress)

In addition, I am also working on a list of Parables and Allegories. Look for that in the coming week or so.

The calling of the 12 Apostles is a major topic for this lesson, a link titled "Apostles and Disciples of Christ" is currently under construction. More materials must be added before this section is complete. Still, I will make it available here because there is already quite a bit of information included that may be useful for your study.

While examining the materials presented this week, it is helpful to understand that the Gospel of Matthew is organized in a very particular and significant way. Matthew's Gospel was intended to resonate with a Jewish Audience that was familiar with the terms and conditions of the Covenant in addition to the organization of the Tanakh (Torah "Law," Nevaim "Prophets," and Ketuvim). Matthew utilized this organizational structure, dividing the teachings of Christ into 5 distinct sermons that run parallel with the books and events of the Torah. This pattern replicates the Covenant, as it was outlined during the events of the Passover, and it is a major theme throughout all scripture. The books of the Torah are organized according to this same structure. Unsurprisingly, this pattern beautifully depicts the Life and mission of Jesus Christ, the premise for all things pertaining to the Gospel. These intentional patterns harmoniously depict the covenant path that all disciples of God strive to emulate.

Matthew brilliantly demonstrates how the life of Jesus Christ outlines the Tanakh in its entirety and demonstrates how these principles and promises are completed and fulfilled through the Atonement of Christ.

Understanding this basic structure will help one see the bigger picture and better understand how all the moving parts are compartmentalized into the broader whole.
