I'm continually amazed by the fulfillment of Old Testament Scriptures regarding our Savior and King. They never fail to take my breath away! The disciple, Matthew, learned from his Master how to bring "out of his treasure things new and old" (Matthew 13:52). In other words, more than any other gospel writer, Matthew ties Old Testament Scriptures to the realities of our New Testament messianic King.
Matthew gained wisdom by being covered in his Rabbi's dust. This expression relates to this former tax collector's willingness to leave all and follow Jesus. Christ and His disciples walked, ate, ministered, rested, and celebrated together. Jesus' wisdom was imparted to these committed followers.
In Dusty Sandals: A Woman's Walk Through the Prophecies and Promises of Matthew, we learn that disciples of all times have been commissioned to not only be disciples, but to go on to maturity and to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). Matthew does this as he composes his account, passing on words of life, shaping a new generation of disciples like you and me. So, let's jump in with Matthew to walk the dusty roads of Israel, learning from our Rabbi, Lord, and King!

Dusty Sandals: A Woman's Walk Through the Prophecies and Promises of Matthew is a three volume Bible study. Volume 2 covers the Gospel of Matthew chapters 11-20. Each volume is divided into 10 lessons, and each lesson is further divided into three days.
