The Masterplan

At the beginning of his public ministry, Jesus revealed the most earth-shattering message the world has ever heard: his Masterplan. In three no-holds-barred chapters of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus explained in detail what it practically meant for his first disciples to be part of the kingdom of God and to be identified with him as his genuine followers. The Masterplan astonished Jesus’ immediate hearers; it utterly transformed those who embraced it and became his disciples. Within a generation they changed the world. Today the Masterplan is still as radical and relevant for every contemporary disciple as when Jesus first presented it. The demands of the Masterplan haven’t changed. Its privileges still stand. Its opportunities still await anybody who dares to take up the invitation and challenge of the Lord Jesus Christ: ‘Follow Me!’
