MATTHEW PRESENTS
THE MESSIAH
Matthew 1:1
The Gospel according to
Matthew presents Jesus
Christ as the promised
Messiah. Matthew traced the
family into which Jesus Christ
was born through the foster
father back through Daivd to
Abraham.
Matthew 1:17
From Abraham to David
there were fourteen
generations, from David to the
Babylonian captivity there
were fourteen generations,
and from the Captivity to
Christ's birth there were
fourteen generations. The
climax of the history of the
Hebrews was the birth of the
Saviour.
Matthew 5:17-20
To avert any misun
derstanding concerning His
attitude toward the Mosaic
Law, Christ spoke to His
disciples in the hearing of the
multitude and told them
plainly that He had not come
to destroy the Law or the
Prophets, but to fulfill them.
Thus He sought to allay any
prejudice on their part
towards Him, and to incline
them to receive His teachings.
Some contend that they no
longer have anything to do
with the law, saying, " We are
not under the law but under
grace." Admittedly Christians
are not under law as a means
to life, but the law remains the
expression of God's will for
them. God's law is eternal,
never to be abrogated or set
aside.
In verse 19, Christ
denounced those religious
leaders who were minimizing
the importance of the com
mandments. It is certainly a
mark of wisdom to obey the
commandments and to teach
obedience to them. It is a
mark of pathetic smallness to
break God's commandments
and to teach others to disobey
them.
Matthew 9:9
Passing through the official
quarter of Capernaum, Christ
found Matthew, who was a
Jew in religion and a publican
by profession, at his post at
the receipt of custom. Christ's
words, "Follow Me," and the
look of love in His eyes caused
Matthew to know beyond a
doubt that the master was
calling him into intimate
friendship, to holy fellowship,
and to sacred employment.
Knowing that this call in
volved the sacrifice of a
lucrative post, the surrender
of his ill-gotten gains, and the
forsaking of his former
manner of life and his worldly
interests, Matthew instantly,
unhesitatingly, and resolutely
forsook all, arose, and
followed Christ. His prompt
obedience proved to be the
pathway of safety and
satisfaction for him.
Matthew 13:51-52
At the close of a long session
of teaching the multitude a
series of parables, Christ
asked His disciples the
awesome question: "Have you
understood all these things?"
To our amazement they
unhesitatingly answered in
the affirmative.
Accepting their reply at face
value, Christ indicated clearly
that it was their responsibility
to declare unto others God's
truth. What a glorious op
portunity! What a tremendous
obligation!
