The Gospel of Matthew, Vol. 2: Exegetical Outlines for Bible Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534641587)

The Gospel written by Matthew is a divinely inspired record of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In each of the Gospels, the Holy Spirit provides unique insights into the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. As the gospel authors penned their works, the Holy Spirit directed their writing to ensure that the view of Christ they presented was an exact and accurate record of what Jesus did and said ... this is who Jesus is. Matthew was directed to write to a primarily Jewish audience for the purpose of demonstrating how that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Messianic promises to David that his descendant would sit on the throne of Israel forever. Jesus, as the son of David, is presented as the rightful King of Israel with all of the corroboration required to certify His right to rule. From the beginning of His gospel account, Matthew anticipates through the eyes of the Magi the glories of the "king of the Jews" (Matthew 2:2). At the end of his account, Matthew records the conclusion of the matter that unwittingly came out of the declaration by Pontius Pilate who placed the ascription at the top of Jesus cross: "This is Jesus, King of the Jews" (Matthew 27:37). Everything in his gospel underscores this truth that Jesus is the King. A study of this gospel will inevitably lead to a deeper appreciation for the majesty and glory of the King, Jesus Christ. It will also provide insight in the devastation brought about by unbelief and rejection of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. May you benefit from an enrichment of your personal faith as you study God's Word with the help of these exegetical outlines."
