Matthew's Gospel was written to show that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. It is carefully arranged by subject matter as a clear explanation to the Jewish people, and to the world, of who Jesus really is. Here you will meet Jesus the Great Teacher (chapters 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount), the Storyteller (chapter 13), the Prophet (chapter 24), the Atoning Sacrifice and much, much more. Charles Prices puts the Gospel into context and helps us to see Jesus through the eyes and ears of Matthew.
Focus on the Bible commentaries are popular level commentaries especially useful for pastors and small group leaders. They are also useful for personal devotions and spiritual growth. The series holds to the inerrancy of scripture and the uniqueness of Christ in salvation.
