Matthew was the Gospel that was used more than any other Gospel for the first 200 years of the Church. This was the Gospel used for the new believers, and Matthew was written to the Jews because its genealogy starts with Abraham.
There are so many Old Testament quotes in Matthew that will prepare Jews to hear that Jesus is really the fulfillment of this promised coming boy, the Messiah.
One of these prophecies is the Three Wise Men, which Dr. Utley will be speaking today.
