Matthew and Messiah: Matthew’s Use of the Old Testament to Produce a Messianic Primer, Part 1

January 19, 2016

But these chapters are vital for Matthew’s presentation of Jesus as the Messiah.

In this four part series, I look at the four sections in Matthew 1-2 and how Matthew utilizes Old Testament passages that are “fulfilled” in the life of the Young Messiah. This is the first of four parts.
