While Matthew does not explicitly state his purpose in writing his gospel, it is almost universally agreed that he was attempting to prove that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Messianic predictions of the Old Testament prophets. Matthew also gives us the most systematic arrangement of Jesus' teaching in the entire New Testament. In this Study Guide, Dr. Mellichamp shows how Matthew has given us a detailed eyewitness account of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, the son of God and Savior of the world. Mellichamp provides detailed outlines of each of the chapters in the book and he poses numerous application questions which will help you understand the book either working on your own or with a small group.
