This introductory sermon to the Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the promised King whose authority frames the entire message of the book. Beginning with Matthew 1:1, which declares Jesus as the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, the Gospel establishes His rightful claim to the throne of God’s eternal kingdom and His mission to bring blessing to all nations. The sermon walks through Matthew’s eight major movements, showing how the arrival, teaching, power, rejection, identity, and ultimate sacrifice of the King culminate in His resurrection and final declaration in Matthew 28:18–20 that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. This authority extends over all people and demands not mere admiration but wholehearted allegiance and obedience. Matthew’s Gospel calls every hearer to recognize Christ’s sovereign rule and respond with faith, loyalty, and a commitment to live and go in obedience to His command.
