In the ‘temptations’ of Matthew 4, the Devil offers Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, but only if Jesus ‘will bow before him’, endorsing the world’s way of power. Jesus rejects this, and spends the rest of his ministry proclaiming and enacting a very different Kingdom. While the ‘destinations’ might be the same, the ‘journey’ is entirely different, and we reflect on how Jesus’ rule and reign comes in a very distinctive way.
Ultimately, Matthew leads us in the final verses of his Gospel to the ‘Great Commission’, long a source of inspiration for Christians setting our upon the adventure of mission. The risen Jesus, now revealed as the King of God’s Kingdom bestows his authority and presence upon his followers; Jamie suggest this should be a cause of great confidence and creativity for us as we continue our journey to be ‘salt and light’ in the world.
