Produced by Anne Folland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Expositions of Holy Scripture: St. Matthew Chaps. IX to XXVIII" by Alexander Maclaren is a detailed theological exploration written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the latter chapters of the Gospel of Matthew, providing insights into the teachings and actions of Jesus Christ. The author examines key events and themes, emphasizing the significance of Christ's messages about forgiveness, healing, and the nature of Christian faith. The opening portion of the text introduces the theme of encouragement found in Christ's words, "Son, be of good cheer," directed to a paralytic emphasized in Matthew 9:2. Maclaren discusses how Jesus prioritizes the spiritual needs of individuals, specifically highlighting the importance of forgiveness over physical healing. He elaborates on the idea that true cheerfulness and courage are rooted in understanding and accepting divine forgiveness. Maclaren's examination sets the stage for a deeper theological reflection on the relationship between Jesus and humanity, demonstrating the profound impact of faith in the face of life's challenges. In this context, he also foreshadows other key miracles and teachings of Christ, establishing a framework for the exploration of the Gospel's later passages.
