Matthew Overview
Welcome to the Gospels, a part of the story that moves the plot along to the “end.” Without knowing the story the interpreter will introduce “error,” because, if nothing else, he will not fit this “part” into its place. By knowing the story, the interpreter will see who Jesus is, what He did, and why we praise and glorify Him.
The Gospels present the ultimate New Adam, The Christ of Psalm 2, the Davidic King of Isaiah 40—66, The New Moses of Deuteronomy 18:15, as being Jesus of Nazareth. This is based on the eyewitness testimony of the Apostles as they identified His life and words as conforming to the Old Testament.
The purpose of Matthew is to explain to the reader the establishment of the church during the delay of the kingdom and its foundation in the apostolic doctrine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
