The Gospel Of Matthew: An Introduction

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

Matthew's account of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ was written to show his fellow Jews that Jesus was the Promised Messiah, liberating them not from the tyranny of Rome, but from the tyranny and condemnation of sin. His death and resurrection freed all of us from this curse.

If Jesus had not risen from the dead, His life would have been ...read more
