The Gospel consists of the four books in the New Testament that gives the teachings of Jesus Christ, written by John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew.
Overview of the Gospel of Matthew:
Matthew’s name means “Gift of the Lord”, a tax collector who left everything to follow Jesus Christ as an apostle (disciple). His former name was Levi, the tax collector. Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew. He wrote it for people who converted from Judaism. This Gospel demonstrates that Jesus Christ is the King and Messiah of Israel. His works support that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all of the old testament prophecies of the coming of the Messiah.
“This book describes Jesus’s genealogy, his miraculous birth and childhood, his baptism and temptation, his ministry of healing and preaching, and finally his crucifixion and resurrection. The resurrected Jesus commissions his Apostles to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Source: Retrieved from the internet on 11/16/2021 from The New World Encyclopedia. https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Gospel_of_Matthew

In this chapter, Jesus reproves the Scribes and Pharisees because they put traditions and cultures over the commands of God. Jesus teaches what defiles a man. Jesus does not heal by race, age, and nationality but by faith. Again, Jesus feeds four thousand people proving he provides and his blessings do not run out. No one can beat God’s giving.
Jesus heals not by race, age, and nationality but by faith. Matthew 15:30-31 KJV 30And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31Insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
In this chapter, you will learn that Jesus warned the Pharisees and the Sadducees who required a sign from him (outside of the miracles he performed) that they were evil and spiritual adulteresses. They would not receive a sign for their generation except for the words of the Prophet Jonas (scripture). Jesus warned his hungry disciples to not partake of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, to not take bread from them because of their doctrines. The Pharisees and Sadducees were looking for reasons to charge Jesus and destroy him.
Matthew 15: 13-15KJV13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus said the only way Peter knew that was because the Father in heaven told him and to tell no one.
Jesus tells the disciples he is going to be put to death and resurrected in three days demonstrating he is predestined and knows things are going to happen before they manifest. Peter gets upset about it. Jesus warns Peter that he is not to get in the way of God’s plan even if it is of discomfort to him.
Matthew 16: 21-KJV 21From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Note: Jesus in the flesh is the Son of God (blood sacrifice). We pray in the name of Jesus because we cannot pray to the Father or know the Father without going through Jesus Christ who bears our sins. Jesus’ blood cleanses us. That is why believers (Christians) must accept Jesus Christ as Lord. The name of God and the Son of God is Jesus Christ (I AM).
John 8:58 KJV “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” John 1:1 KJV “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14 KJV “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
John 14:6 KJV “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
It is important to know that if you go through trials or storms. There are many religions that worship many gods so it is important to know the name of the Father. Revelation tells us that upon Jesus’ return, we will learn his heavenly sacred name.
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
John 1:1KJV “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:10 KJV “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
John 1:14KJV “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Jesus states anyone who wants to follow him must deny himself and bear his cross. He promises to return in Glory and reward those according to their works.
Note: It is important to know that no one is saved by his works but by the grace of God However, God is a rewarder to those who seek him. Thereby, people will be awarded for their works. Ephesians 2:8KJV “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
John 3:5-6 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
