Matthew intends to prove to the Jews that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah. More than any other Gospel, the Gospel of Matthew quotes the Old Testament to show how Jesus fulfills the words of the Jewish prophets. Matthew describes in detail the lineage of Jesus from David and uses many forms of speech with which the Jews would have been comfortable. Matthew’s love and concern for his people is apparent through his meticulous approach to telling the gospel story.

 

In Today’s Top Ten List, we explore ten notes from the book of Matthew that make this gospel both unique and powerful. They range from the fact that the book is intended primarily for a Jewish audience to the repeated use of phrases used by no other Bible writer to the clearest articulation of the Great Commission. Scriptures referenced include Matthew 1:1-16; Matthew 5:17-18; Deuteronomy 23:3; Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 16:18; Matthew 18:17; and Matthew 6:9-13.
