Matthew. The first book of the New Testament and the longest of the four Gospels. It is a valuable book that reveals many of the crucial truths of what it really means to follow Jesus. In Matthew and the other Gospels we read the very words of Jesus and learn why He gave the commands He did. We see how He loved the people around Him and how He sought to glorify His Father in heaven. Upon reading the book of Matthew, you will find that it is a discipleship handbook that is worth being studied, meditated upon and lived out.
