The Gospel of Matthew by Bruce Anstey, Wirebound

Introduction:

The Gospel of Matthew was written by a Jew to the Jews as a nation. It is a divinely inspired record of their national rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the rightful King and Messiah of Israel. The purpose of this Gospel is to give the Jews an accurate and trustworthy account of the nation’s guilt in this matter. If taken to heart, it would produce conviction and repentance in those who believe, and this would in turn, lead them to receive Christ as their Lord, Savior, and King. An honest-hearted Jew should be able to read this gospel account and be converted because the evidence is overwhelming. God’s blessing is presently being withheld from the nation, and this will continue until they own their part in the nation’s rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ (Hosea 5:15-6:3).
