The Gospel of Matthew
22 videos • 0 views • by Seeking the Kingdom Although this Gospel does not identify the author, early church tradition attributes it to Matthew, the apostle and former tax collector. Tradition says that for fifteen years after the resurrection of Christ he preached in Palestine and then conducted missionary campaigns in other nations. Matthew's aim is to present Jesus, not only as the Messiah, but as the Son of David, and to elaborate thus truth in such a way that it would aid the Christians in their controversies with the Jews. He shows how Jesus fulfilled OT prophecy, and how the Law is filled with new meaning and supplemented in the Person, words and works of Christ. Written between A.D 50 - 65
