Christ's companions gave Him many different names and titles, and each one sheds some insight on who our Savior really is. Nazarene, Shepherd, Physician, Son of God, Christ, Lord, and Rabbi were some of the titles bestowed upon him. St. Matthew's Gospel gives Jesus twenty-four titles in all, and each one sheds light on some aspect of his person and work. This book is for you if you're searching for a fresh entryway into knowing and loving Jesus.
Studying through Matthew's Gospel with Eric Sammons will help you uncover the marvels of Scripture and become closer to your Savior. Sammons analyses the twenty-four names to help you view the composite Christ through the lens of the saints, the prophets who prefigured Christ, and Church doctrines. Chapter after chapter, you'll discover how Christ's titles teach you practical life truths, such as:
The Holy Eucharist, prayer, and fasting are the three means by which people might come to know God and emulate His love.
Patriarchal Progeny: Perfect for Lectio Divina, each chapter lets you concentrate on Christ's various titles from the viewpoint of His life and times, their theological and moral meaning, and their influence on the church and the world today.
The true way to sanctification and the key to loving the Divine Bridegroom in the way He longs to be loved will be revealed to you through this inspiring work.
