Genesis tells us about the existence of God and how He created everything, including the order we see yet today.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Matthew, an Apostle of Jesus, tells us some of the finals details of Jesus life, including Jesus' commissioning of His followers to make Disciples as they go, baptize and teach.

The details about the death and the burial of Jesus Christ, especially those of inadvertently (by mistake) just reaffirm for us Who Jesus is, and how all their efforts only reinforce what we believe about Jesus, our Savior, our Redeemer, the Son of God!

The details of the days of Jesus before His crucifixion and resurrection.

Here are three parables where Jesus lays the truths about being prepared to die so that we go to heaven with earthly stories the readers would relate with. We call them parables, and they speak truth to us and point us to following Jesus.

There is nothing or no one here that will last, only Jesus' words and promises and God Himself. Rejoice, you know Jesus and He is your Savior and His Word endures forever (and so will you, in Him!)

Jesus speaks "woe" to those who are not practicing what they are preaching, and in love for them He confronts them and longs to have them come back to Him.

Jesus teaches of the urgency of the invitation to come to Him, and Him alone, to be saved.

Jesus comes in to Jersusalem to complete the work of salvation that He came for.

Jesus teaches about serving.
