The Gospel of Matthew was the most widely read and frequently used Gospel in the Early Church. It's a compelling witness to the fact that Jesus was, in fact, the long-promised Messiah. |

Who Wrote the Gospels, and How Do We Know for Sure? None of the gospels came with an "about the author" section.

Why Did Matthew Write His Gospel? Here Are 4 Possible Reasons. Why did Matthew write his gospel account of Jesus, what threads might hold this gospel-fabric together? The Beatitudes in Matthew 5: Meaning and Significance for Today. The Beatitudes serve as a sort of preamble to the Sermon on the Mount, but they are an even more memorable treasure for humanity. The Beatitudes give a succinct statement of the ethos of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus has announced and summarize the principles of kingdom life that he will articulate in the Sermon that follows. We find in them an abstract of Jesus' history-altering intention for establishing the kingdom of heaven as well as a clue to Matthew's organization of his Gospel. |
