Matthew has been preeminently the Gospel of the church. It tells us of God’s love for Israel and of the fulfillment in Christ of God’s promise to the nation. It gives the complete story of Jesus’ ministry, death and resurrection. The Sermon on the Mount and some of the most precious of Jesus’ parables are contained in this Gospel.

Matthew 12

12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
