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 25

25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
