Behold the Servant of the Lord

When Jesus confronted the Pharisees about their misunderstanding of the law and the heart of God (12:1-14), they responded by hatching a plan on how to destroy Christ. In verses 15-21, Matthew shows the difference between Jesus, the Servant, and the Pharisees. While the Pharisees are conspiring on how to kill, Jesus is conspiring on how to save.

Big Idea: Because Jesus is God’s Chosen Servant Who’s full of compassion and gentleness, He is the Sinners’ only Hope!

1. Behold the Chosen Servant (15-18)
2. Marvel at the Humble Servant (19-20)
3. Hope in the Exalted Servant (20-21)
