This study on the book of Matthew was started on June 30, 2024 and will be a thorough study of the first book of the Gospels. We will learn that in this book, the Lord is presented as Jehovah's King so the royal genealogy is presented from Abraham and David downward. Mark presents the Lord as Jehovah's servant, hence no genealogy is required. In Luke, the Lord is presented as Jehovah's man. Last, in John, the Lord is presented as Jehovah Himself, where no genealogy is required. This study will focus on showing how Jesus ministry from birth to His baptism in water. The threefold temptation in the wilderness to the time he began to preach the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We will learn how His ministry changed to show how He would suffer, die and be resurrected. Their is evidence in the Greek manuscripts showing why this is the first Gospel. Follow along as each lesson will go into detail using right division to bring clarity to the student of scripture.
