The Gospel of Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew

Sunday, September 22 Traditions online worship service.

The Gospel of Matthew is probably the most familiar and most read of the 4 gospels narratives in the New Testament. While not the first gospel written, it is the first one we come across in our bibles. It contains many of the texts most familiar to Christians and non-Christians alike: the Beatitudes, the Lord’s Prayer, The Great Commission.

The writer of the Gospel of Matthew was a Jewish believer who compiled the stories of Jesus known to his community sometime after the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in the year 70 AD, and sometime before 90 AD.

Reading the Gospel of Matthew through the lens of spiritual formation, we find a compelling portrait of Jesus as a wise Jewish teacher who reveals what it looks like to live a life of Immanuel—“God with Us” and the fulfillment of all that had come before.
