Another amazing chapter, impossible to summarise.
I've reduced the Lord's Prayer to four words. I do think the kingdom is at the heart of both the prayer and the chapter, but this only serves as a reminder that summaries are not enough. Get reading the real thing!
V 34 Each day has enough trouble of its own.
How true when we see all that is happening in our world today...and yet, we are instructed not to worry. God knows our every need and “how much more” will He answer when we bring our concerns to Him.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Matthew.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?
