Lifechange Matthew Bible Study

With its emphasis on the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, Matthew's Gospel forms a natural bridge between the Old and New Testaments. While it is directed toward Jewish readers, it has never been limited in its audience. From the visit of the Magi reported at the beginning of this Gospel to the words of the Great Commission at its conclusion, the larger sphere and interests of the Messiah are clear. Throughout Matthew's Gospel we learn that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah, come to redeem His people.
