Our Bible study may have its own flavor and characteristics. We are going to read the Bible, a little bit at a time, talk about what we read, answer a few questions and pray. And we'll pray before we begin as well -- for the Lord to prepare our hearts and minds as we consider the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew was written for Jews by a Jew. He depicts Jesus as one who has high expectations for followers but that people are free to reject Him. This first gospel of the New Testament also shows Jesus teaching his followers about forgiveness and serving.
