05 Matthew 2:13-15 Out of Egypt

March 3, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Matthew tells us the life of Jesus “fulfills” something spoken by the prophet Hosea. Yet Hosea is not “predicting” anything; Hosea is looking backward to the Exodus. What is Matthew doing? He’s pointing out the theological connection between Israel as God’s son and the Messiah, God’s son.

04 Matthew 2:1-23 The early life of Jesus

February 24, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Matthew draws many parallels between the early life of Jesus and the Old Testament to reinforce his main point: Jesus is the Christ, the son of Abraham and son of David, who will fulfill God’s promises.

03 Matthew 1:18-25 Birth of Jesus

02 Matthew 1:1-17 Genealogy of Jesus

February 10, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Writers are usually told to start their books with a hook that will immediately engage their readers. Matthew begins his gospel with a list of names. Could anything be more boring? Yet Matthew did start with a bang. This list is relevant to every human being who ever lived.

01 Gospel of Matthew Introduction

February 3, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Jesus claimed that “all authority in heaven and on earth” has been given to him (Mt 28:18). If that’s true, and I believe it is, then we benefit by learning all we can about Jesus. Matthew wrote this gospel to tell us who Jesus is and what that means for us.
