  1. Jesus the Obedient Son embodies Faithful Israel The Shema as a Key to the Person of Jesus in Matthew

  2. The Shema hw"hy> taeT'b.h;a'w> dx'a, hw"hy> Wnyhel{a/ hw"hy> laer"f.yI [m;v. • ^d<aom.-lk'b.W ^v.p.n:-lk'b.W ^b.b'l.-lk'B. ^yh,l{a Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

  3. According to the Rabbis • With all your heart = seeking only God’s will • With all your soul = being prepared to lay down your life • With all your strength = being prepared to put everything a the service of God’s word

  4. In the Wilderness 4:1-11 • Jesus is tempted • To turn stones to bread i.e. to do his own will • To lose his life • To seek the wealth and glory of the world He rejects each one with an appeal to Scripture and so is faithful to the Shema

  5. In his Passion • In Gethsemane “Not my will but yours be done” (26:39) Loves God with all his heart • “Jesus cried out in a loud voice and gave up his spirit.” (27: 50) Loves God with all his soul • “Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen and laid it in his new tomb.” (27: 59) Love God with all his material wealth- dies poor and naked.

  6. In his “life” of Jesus • Matthew the Jewish Scribe portrays Jesus as • The long awaited Royal messiah • The fulfilment of the Scriptures • “Immanuel who proclaims Kingdom in word and deed” • The utterly faithful son of God Reading this, a community on the margins is uplifted, inspired, guided and challenged to be true.
