The Gospel of Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as the promised Messiah and King, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. It begins with a genealogy linking Jesus to Abraham and David, establishing His royal lineage. The book highlights His birth, baptism, and early ministry, including the famous Sermon on the Mount, which lays out ethical teachings such as the Beatitudes.
Matthew emphasizes Jesus’ miracles, parables, and confrontations with religious leaders, showing His authority over nature, sickness, and sin. He also teaches about the Kingdom of Heaven and the need for righteousness.
The latter part of the book details Jesus’ betrayal, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. His final command, the Great Commission, instructs His followers to spread His teachings worldwide. Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and emphasizes obedience to divine teachings.
