Acknowledgments

I, Matt, would like to thank Danny Akin for believing in me enough to ask me to be a part of this project; Jim Shaddix, Tony Merida, and Charles Harvey for the countless hours spent with me during the research phase of this project; Stephen Crawford, Halim Suh, Brice Johnson, and Travis Whitehead for your editing and contributions to the final work; Chris Osborne for teaching me to love and preach God’s Word; and lastly, Jesus, the subject of this commentary and the reason we labor, write, and preach.

I, Josh, would like to thank my brothers, Chris, Jason, and Justin, for walking the path of Christ with me; my parents, Dave and Sandy, for teaching me who Jesus is from the second I was born; both Redeemer and Calvary, who patiently listened as I labored with them through this Gospel; Erin Judd for deciphering my scribbles and protecting my schedule; and finally, my sons, Jack, Max, and Caed, who graciously put up with their father’s failure to live like Jesus. May you see the beauty of Jesus even through my brokenness.
