Matthew 1 Genealogies

Influenza is among the most prevalent infectious airborne viral diseases that affect the respiratory system. According to the World Health Organization (2016), the infection majorly affects the throat, nose, and the bronchi, and on rare occasions, it may affect the lungs. Also commonly known as the flu, influenza infection is characterized by sneezing, itchy and running nose as well as throat inflammation. The initial signs and symptoms include fever with temperatures higher that 100F, soreness in the back, myalgia, legs and arm muscles, sweats and chills, frontal or retro-orbital headaches, tachycardia, red, watery eyes, and fatigue. Sometimes, a dry and persistent cough, nasal congestion and discharge occur

     Who is this man Jesus? Where was he from? What did he do for others and us? A great source of reference to answer this question would be someone who had direct contact with him in everyday life. Someone who saw the daily wonders he created would be the best source for information. Matthew, the apostle, is believed to have written the gospel of Matthew. He was able to experience firsthand all of the amazing miracles that Jesus performed. God inspired his words, and his gospel relates to the other three gospels in overall context. They were written in different formats and styles, but the overall message and story remains constant throughout all four gospels. This creates a strong

The purpose of Matthew's gospel was to, "tell the story of how the coming of the Messiah has inaugurated a new phase in the history of God's people and to explain how they were expected to live in that new age." (Barr)

In the Gospel of Matthew, the focus on the Jewish genealogy of Jesus played a significant role in the birth story. To fully understand Jesus, it was imperative to first acknowledge who Jesus was within Jewish ancestry and his subsequent position as King of the Jews.

Jesus Christ taught in parables during his time on earth as a way to assist others in finding understanding about sacred truths. Matthew 13 contains several parables that illustrate Jesus’ skill at using this teaching method, but beyond these types of extended similes, chapters 13 and 14 of Matthew show several other teaching habits of Christ and several of his best character traits. At the opening of Matthew 13, verse one describes Christ sitting by the sea. I think the action of him sitting by the sea as people are arriving is intentional, because it would have allowed him to interact with those he was about to teach instead of just waiting in the boat as the multitude gathered.

Notable in Matthew is its emphasis on Jesus as the promised Messiah and on matters pertaining to the church. Evidence that it probably was written for Jewish Christians may be found which is concerned with representing Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament. The deep interest in the disciples is emphasized in Matthew. Matthew gives the fullest account of how Jesus called them, how he instructed them, how they failed him, and

When studying the Gospel of Matthew, Scholars have dated the book to be written sometime between the ages of 80 and 90 CE. Scholars have also estimated the book to have been written somewhere outside of Palestine, potentially in Antioch, Syria. Antioch was a very wealthy and educated area with a large Jewish community (Study Bible, 1665-1667). From what evidence permits, it’s estimated that the whole purpose of the gospel was meant as a means of correcting the Gospel of Mark by emphasizing the Jewishness of Jesus as the glorious Messiah of the Jews. There is also a stress to all the followers

In previous chapters, the real identity of Jesus is unknown- the crowds wonder if he is the Son of David (Matt 12:23), the disciples previously said that he was “the Son of God (Matt 8:29, 14:33) and Jesus himself identifies himself as “the Son of Man” (Matt 10: 23; 2:8; 12:40) and even likening himself to a Prophet (Matt 13:57).

Isaianic prophecy aside it is also clear that Matthew above the other three evangelists presents Jesus as the fulfilment of the law, a new Moses. The structure of the book into five sections is intended to help the Jewish readers identify Jesus as an antecedent of Moses. Jesus is according to some scholars a type of Moses bringing about a new exodus and a new Israel. More explicitly however, Matthew portrays Jesus as the only man to have fulfilled the law in its entirety as well as the messianic fulfilment of Old Testament prophecy through the many formula quotations (3:15; 5:17-48;12:17-21; 13:35; 21:5, 16, 42; 22:44; 23:39; 26:31; 27:9, 35, 46).

I defiently see were your coming from Rachael. IN refernce to the genalogies last semester when my New Testament professor went over Matthew and Lukes genealogies he explained that they are there for different reasons. Matthew genealogy is there to show that Jesus was related to King David, while Luke's genealogy is there to show the Jesus is the Son of God. Matthew's genealogy is written to the audience of the Jewish and Luke is written to the Gentiles. There are many examples of verses that are not directly appicable to our daily livessuch as his example of Psalms 137. It is frowned upon to even harm an infant let alone "dash them against the

Matthew was a publican, a tax collector and government worker, who dropped a lavish lifestyle to be a disciple of Jesus. His gospel is thought to have many authors, and is in the two-source hypothesis along with Mark and Luke. Matthew also known as Levi, wrote to prove that Jesus Christ was the Messiah the Jewish people were promised. The Gospel of Matthew has multiple themes found throughout: Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, God is grace and judgment. This gospel cannot be dated exactly.

Matthew presents Christ as the King of the Jews. Matthew builds on Mark, but presents more of Jesus’ Jewish-style of teachings, and presents a story of Jesus as the Messianic

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye?

Public voting decides how much a money the average American brings home. People have to come to a settlement on who they want to vote for and who would make a good president. Donald Trump, who is currently running in the presidential election of 2016, started his career in an office that was shared with his father in Brooklyn, New York. Trump has worked his way up to owning his own organization, “The Trump Organization.” Trump decided to run for the presidency of the United States, a title that he deserves. Trump has been head of his company and has experience in running large operations. He speaks for all of the American people, including the middle and lower-class. Not only that, but Trump has proven that he doesn’t use falsehood, but

In Harper Lee’s Bildungsroman novel To Kill A Mockingbird, the growing protagonist Jean Louise “Scout” Finch struggles to grow up in a society where citizens segregate themselves because of their color, traits, and family. In the fictional town of Maycomb County, Alabama, an ongoing social caste system lives: people do not keep an open mind and gossip tends to spread quickly. Scout is faced with conflicts between white and colored people, racism, and social injustices. Lee demonstrates how social classes do not determine the traits and/or extent to what abilities one has, but shapes one’s character through characterization, rising actions and symbolism.
