Matthew The Jewish Gospel Robert Carrillo John Oakes San Diego 2015

Theme of Matthew The Messiah is here and has brought salvation to all people.

Theme Passages in Matthew Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins Matthew 28:18-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.

Another Very Important Passage Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Things to Bear in Mind A strong Jewish element. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Jewish messianic expectation. Emphasis on fulfillment of historical messianic prophecies Jewish leaders strongly criticized. Five discourses with a topical arrangement. Jesus as “God with us.” Importance of Peter. Apostles not in as negative a light.
