Overview of The Gospel of Matthew
The Gospel of Matthew was written by the apostle Matthew, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. Matthew was a former tax collector, called by Jesus to follow Him. His Gospel is believed to have been written between 50-70 AD, and it is the first book in the New Testament, even though it may not have been the first Gospel written. Matthew’s account emphasizes that Jesus is the promised Messiah and King, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies.
Matthew’s Gospel begins with a genealogy that traces Jesus’ lineage back to Abraham and King David, highlighting Jesus’ royal and Jewish heritage. It then moves into the story of Jesus’ miraculous birth, His baptism by John the Baptist, and the start of His ministry.
Mary and her husband Joseph were both from the lineage of King David. Matthew 1:17 “So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.” Matthew tells of a prophetic word that told of Jesus’ birth.
Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” It is interesting to note that Joseph wanted to divorce Mary quietly because of her pregnancy. But an angel came to him and verified that Mary was pregnant by the Holy Ghost. Therefore, Joseph stayed married to Mary and did not consummate the marriage until Jesus Christ was born.
Note: Jesus Christ is a name translated in the English versions. It is accepted by God. For this purpose these studies are on the English speaking version.
Philippians 2:9 KJV “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name:”
There are many names people call Jesus but it is only one name to be saved by. If you mispronounce other names (thinking that is the original name) then you are not calling on the Lord.
It is known that what we pronounce today is not the way letters were pronounced then. Develop a personal relationship with the Lord and you will know he answers to the name name Jesus Christ (the blood sacrifice). He is the God of the living eventhough all belong to him – living or dead.
Psalms 100:3 KJV 3 Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
The Gospel of Matthew is known for including many of Jesus’ key teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount, where He teaches about love, humility, prayer, and the Kingdom of God. Throughout the Gospel, Jesus performs miracles, heals the sick, and casts out demons, showing His divine authority.
Matthew also places a strong emphasis on Jesus’ role as a teacher and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. He frequently references the Scriptures to show how Jesus’ life and mission align with what was foretold about the Messiah. The Gospel also includes Jesus’ parables, teachings on discipleship, and warnings about the final judgment.
The story of Jesus’ crucifixion, death, and resurrection is the heart of the Gospel. Matthew ends with the Great Commission, where Jesus commands His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, spreading the message of salvation.
In summary, the Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as the promised Messiah, the fulfillment of God’s promises, and the King of all nations, whose life, death, and resurrection bring salvation to the world.

45 Days To Read The Gospel Challenge – The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 28
Jesus Christ is lord
OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
In this chapter, you will learn about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His appearances following the resurrection. Jesus first appeared to the women who followed Him and then to His disciples, declaring His authority over heaven and earth. The lesson also covers the Great Commission, where Jesus instructs His disciples to spread His message to all nations.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
In Matthew 28, Mary Magdalene and another Mary visit Jesus’ tomb early in the morning after the Sabbath. Suddenly, there is a great earthquake, and an angel appears, rolling away the stone from the tomb. The angel tells the women not to be afraid and announces that Jesus has risen, just as He said He would. The angel invites them to see the empty tomb. This event is celebrated today as Easter.
Jesus Appears to the Women
As the women are on their way to tell the disciples, they meet Jesus. He greets them, and they fall at His feet, worshipping Him. Jesus tells them not to be afraid and to inform His disciples to meet Him in Galilee.
The Soldiers and the Bribe
The soldiers who were guarding the tomb report what happened to the chief priests. The priests bribe the soldiers to spread a false story, claiming that Jesus’ disciples came at night and stole His body. This lie continued to be spread for many years.
Jesus’ Declaration of His Power
Later, Jesus meets His disciples on a mountain in Galilee. He declares to them that He has been given all power in heaven and on earth.
The Great Commission
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus gives His disciples a mission, known as the Great Commission. He instructs them to go into all nations, teaching people to follow His commands and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus promises to be with them always, even until the end of the world.
This chapter emphasizes the truth of Jesus’ resurrection, His divine authority, and the importance of spreading His message to all people.

This was the last lesson in the Book of Gospels. I had a lot of fun, and I did a lot of self-reflecting while putting these lessons together. The Gospel of Matthew sums up the whole story of Jesus Christ. If you have not read the Gospel of John, Luke, and Mark, I strongly suggest you do.

Objectives for Chapter 28 -The Gospel of Matthew. What you will learn:
1. The resurrection of Jesus. Matthew 28: 1-6 KJV
1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.
2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men.
5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
2. He appears to the women. Matthew 28: 8-10 KJV
8And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
3. The soldiers bribed. Matthew 28:11-15 KJV
11Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12And when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
4. Jesus meets his disciples on a mountain in Galilee. Matthew 28: 16-17 KJV
16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in the earth.
5. The great commission. Matthew 28: 19-20 KJV
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
