🧐 Did You Know?

The first book of the New Testament isn't the earliest written, but it was crafted to demonstrate that Jesus is the promised Messiah.

Let's explore fascinating and biblical insights about the Gospel of Matthew in an easy and enjoyable way!

📘 What Is the Gospel of Matthew?

The Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament, narrating the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

✍️ It was written by Matthew, a former tax collector who became a disciple of Jesus.

📖 Matthew 9:9
“As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.”

✡️ Insight 1: Matthew Wrote for the Jews

Matthew aimed to show the Jewish people that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in Old Testament prophecies.

📖 Matthew 1:1
“This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham.”USCCB+2BibleProject+2Bible Gateway+2

👉 That's why he begins with Jesus' genealogy, proving His descent from David and Abraham, as the Scriptures indicated.

📜 Insight 2: Matthew Quotes the Old Testament More Than Others

Matthew includes over 60 Old Testament citations to demonstrate that Jesus' life fulfilled these prophecies.

📖 Matthew 1:22-23
“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’).”

This prophecy refers to Jesus' virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14). Amazing, right?

🗣️ Insight 3: Powerful Teachings of Jesus Are in Matthew

Have you heard of the Sermon on the Mount? It's found in chapters 5 to 7 of Matthew.

✨ Jesus teaches heart-transforming truths:

📖 Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world.”

✝️ Insight 4: The Death and Resurrection of Jesus

Matthew shows that Jesus:

  • Was rejected

  • Died on the cross for our sins

  • Rose on the third day

📖 Matthew 28:6
“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said! Come and see the place where he lay.”

All this happened exactly as the Scriptures predicted!

🌍 Insight 5: The Great Commission

Matthew concludes with something very special: the mission Jesus gave us!

📖 Matthew 28:19
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...”

👉 This mission is also ours! We can share Jesus with others every day!

✅ Conclusion

The Gospel of Matthew is a wonderful gateway to knowing Jesus.

Every detail in the book shows that He is the Savior promised by God, who continues to transform lives with love and truth!
