Day 1

with the first chapter where “Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” is identified as the one conceived by the Holy Spirit, and called “Immanuel” – God, to the last chapter
when Matthew ends with the words of the resurrected Christ assuring his followers that he – the I am- and is with them always, to the end of the age.
Mark Lanier is a practicing attorney who also holds a B.A. in Biblical Languages from David Lipscomb University. He is both a committed student of Scripture and an excellent
communicator of its truths.
