I was going through some of my archived posts from the Bible Notes website I used to maintain back in 2005 and found some articles on Matthew which may still come in handy this year, if they happen to coincide with the Sunday readings. I have written newer versions for some of the sections from the Gospel of Matthew (e.g., Jesus Walking on the Waters, the Canaanite Woman). Reading these just now reminds me of what I read somewhere from Origen: that the student of the Scriptures understands a passage better each time he studies it at different stages of his life. While 2005 isn't really that far off I can truthfully say that going back to the same passages I have already reflected on did allow me to see something that I missed the first time I worked on them.
