Victory and Reign

Jesus triumphed over his enemies through his Death and Resurrection, therefore, he now reigns from the Messianic Throne.

Jesus of Nazareth conquered Satan, Sin, and Death on the Cross of Calvary, and he began his reign as the Messianic King following his Death and Resurrection. He is not waiting for some future event before he receives his sovereignty over the Earth, he reigns already!

Royal Servant

The theme of fulfillment is prominent in Matthew’s gospel. The promises of God are fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God sent to redeem Israel and rule the nations. Peter, for example, on the road to Jerusalem confirmed that he was the “Messiah.” Nevertheless, he failed to understand that he would accomplish that calling as the suffering “Servant of the LORD.”
