History
of the Book of Matthew
The
first of four gospels begins here in the Book of
Matthew. It is written by a Jew, to the Jews,
about a Jew. The author of this Gospel is
Matthew (also known as Levi),who was a
tax-collector and one of the twelve apostles. He
wrote this book to his countrymen about Jesus
Christ. As with the other three gospels, Matthew
is not an easy book to date. It is suggested
that it was written between A.D. 40 and A.D.
140. This gospel has 28 chapters beginning with
the genealogy of Jesus Christ and ending with
HIS great commission to us, right before His
resurrection. Matthew is the first book of the
New Testament with it's natural bridge between
the two testaments and it's emphasis on the
fulfillment of the old testament prophesies. The
famous "beatitudes" given in theSermon
on the Mount can be found in this Gospel.
Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Capernaum,
Jerusalem and Judea are the main cities spoken
of in this Gospel. Jesus' birth and early years
of His life, including Mary and Joseph's escape
to Egypt from the murderous Herod and their
return to Nazareth can be found too. His years
of ministry as He performed many miracles and
spoke in parables teaches us more about Who He
is and what He has done and will do for us as
His Father's children. The clear message Matthew
wants his readers to know is simple: Jesus is
the Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Rejoice about His victory over death and evil
and remember Jesus is Lord!!! |
