Lesson # Matthew Introduction, Outline Study Material - Matthew, book introduction and outline You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Matthew Introduction Matthew presents Christ as King, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Genealogy is traced to David. This emphasizes to person and purpose of Christ. Extracting from the Old Testament passages which portray the savior as being from the line of David and the promised King, Matthew systematically moves through his book documenting Christ's life and demonstrating that Jesus is the Christ, the son of David, the son of God, being both man and God in the same person, the unique person of the universe. Matthew also known as Levi, was a tax collector. He was needless to say despised by people in general, but God demonstrates that no matter what a persons background, and tax collector is at the bottom of the ladder, God can still promote anyone to high positions. Matthew was a tax collector and was promoted to apostle and a writer of the first book in the New Testament. Just as David was a shepherd boy and was promoted to King. So in your life, no matter what your situation, whether you have a handicap, or a low IQ, whether you have a minority skin color, or are from a culture that most despise, whether you live on the poor side of town, or push a broom, God can elevate you to positions beyond that attainable by anyone else on the face of this world. And when God promotes it is permanent. As opposed to mans promotions which are temporary at best. The outline of Matthew follows the birth of Christ, his ministry, the crucifixion, and resurrection.
