Notes in the Margin: Matthew

The brief devotional comments -- just like the notes you jot down in the margin of your Bible -- attached to each verse of Matthew lend themselves to a variety of uses. Here are a few.

a. Bible teachers can use the comments to answer the question of the hearers: "What am I supposed to do with this? How do I respond to the Lord?"
b. Disciples who wish to be more like Jesus will find many examples on how to imitate Him or to be more holy.
c. People wanting richer prayer times will find a wealth of issues to pray about. There are yet many more ways we can grow!
d. People wondering how a 2,000-year-old book is supposed to guide them will find how thoroughly the Word can influence every area of their lives.
e. Use it like a devotional commentary, and realize that God has something to say to us with every verse of the Bible.
