Matthew 1-4, Psalm 63

Published: April 19, 2022, 4:05 a.m.

b'The gospel of Matthew was written with a Jewish audience in mind, pointing frequently to the Old Testament to show how Christ was God\\u2019s promised Messiah and the fulfillment of the Law. Matthew looks back upon some 60 Hebrew prophecies throughout his text. Not only is He the long-awaited King, He is also the new Abraham, that is, the head of the new spiritual Israel comprised of all who follow Him. If that weren\\u2019t enough, Matthew also shows that Jesus is the new Moses; He is the greater prophet, teacher, and deliverer born among Israel\\u2019s brothers who gives perfect instruction from God.'
