Apr 7, 2025 • Tony Graffanino
In this week's episode, Tony introduces the Gospel of Matthew, highlighting Matthew's goal of convincing the Jewish people that Jesus is their long-awaited Messiah.
Tony also explores how Matthew portrays Jesus as the superior human and the true Israel—where Israel faltered, Jesus succeeds. He further explains how Jesus is depicted as the greater Moses, teaching the law as it was always intended to be understood.
Finally, Tony delves into the true meaning of repentance and Jesus' invitation to all to walk with Him and experience life in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now.
We've included the Bible Projects overview video of the first 13 chapters of the Gospel according to Matthew.
