Background of the Book

The Gospel of Matthew is the bridge that connects the Bible’s Old Testament with the Bible’s New Testament. The Old Testament revealed God’s creation of the universe and everything in it, God’s creation of humankind in his own image, Adam and Eve’s tragic fall into sin, and God’s promise of a future Messiah to set things right again.

Survey of the Book

Let’s do a survey of Matthew’s Gospel. What’s a survey? Basically, we’re going to examine Matthew’s book in broad terms. We’re going to look at the Big Picture: The Presentation of The King (Matthew 1:1-4:11) The Proclamation of The King (Matthew 4:12-16:20) The Passion of The King (Matthew 16:21-28:20) Matthew’s Gospel was not written in chronological order. That way, Matthew could arrange his material to present a simple guiding truth, Jesus was the King of the Jews.

The Great Takeaway

Probably the greatest takeaway from the Gospel of Matthew is that Jesus Christ is the Messiah who fulfilled all the requirements of the long-awaited “King of the Jews.” Unlike other kingdoms in human history where subjects often died for their king, Matthew revealed a King who died for His subjects – this is the Good News of the Gospel.
