Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew opens the New Testament with a powerful declaration that Jesus Christ is the long-awaited Messiah—the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel. Written primarily for a Jewish audience, Matthew beautifully bridges the Old and New Covenants, showing that every prophecy, law, and promise finds its completion in Christ, the King and Savior of the world.

From the genealogy that connects Jesus to Abraham and David, to His teachings, miracles, and parables, Matthew presents Jesus as the divine Son of God and rightful King of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Gospel reveals His authority in word and deed, His compassion for the lost, and His ultimate mission—to save humanity through His death and resurrection.

Key themes in Matthew include:

Jesus as the promised Messiah and fulfillment of prophecyThe Kingdom of Heaven and the call to righteous livingThe Sermon on the Mount and the ethics of God’s KingdomFaith, humility, and obedience as marks of true discipleshipJesus’ miracles revealing His divine power and compassionThe rejection, crucifixion, and resurrection of the MessiahThe Great Commission—Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations

The Gospel of Matthew calls us to recognize Jesus not only as Savior but also as King—to follow Him with obedience and faith. It reminds us that God’s promises are sure, His Kingdom is eternal, and His presence is with us always, even to the end of the age.
