Today we begin our six week journey through Matthew! Take a moment to pray these scriptures over someone today. You may want to READ or listen to chapters ONE, THREE, and FOUR before you begin.

Matthew 1:22     “You are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  Thank You, Jesus, that You came to save us from our sins! May ______ come to know You and trust in You as Savior.

Matthew 1:23     Thank You, Jesus, that Your name is (also) Immanuel, which means, “God with us.” Remind ______ today that You, God, are with him/her.

Matthew 3:16-17     The Spirit of God descended on You, Jesus, as a dove, and a voice from heaven said, “This is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” May ______ believe and not doubt that You, Jesus, are God’s Son.

Matthew 4:19-20, 22 Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men,” and at once Peter and Andrew left their nets and followed him. May ______ be like Peter, Andrew, James, and John, willing to leave everything and follow You, Jesus.

QUESTION: If Jesus asked You today to leave everything and follow Him, what would your response be?
