Matthew 14-17

After another prediction of Jesus' death, Matthew, a former tax collector, tells a story about taxes and exemptions. The story includes interesting details and an extraordinary miracle that teaches us about being tax-exempt in the kingdom of Christ.

Big Idea:  Jesus is the King’s Son who forgoes His rights and pays our ransom tax so rely on Him and reflect Him!

1. Recognize the Son’s Lofty Position (24-26)
2. Rely on the Son’s Gracious Provisions (27)
3. Reflect the Son’s Humble Posture (27a)
