The book of Matthew is the story of Jesus of Nazareth. It was recorded by the disciple Matthew and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Matthew writes to demonstrate that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah, who is the heir to David’s throne, the fulfillment made to the Jew’s ancestor Abraham and the blessing to all nations. The gospel of Matthew is the message of good news written to a Jewish audience that God has delivered on His promise in the person of Jesus.
